Hundreds of thousands of new jobs are being created in the aged care and health service sectors that would offset the loss of jobs in the manufacturing sector and through automation, the chief employment bureaucrat has said.

Renee Leon, the secretary for the federal Department of Employment, said the Minister, Michaelia Cash, will on Friday launch a report produced with the CSIRO identifying future social trends and their impact on employment.

After addressing a discussion in Canberra this week about the jobs of the future, Ms Leon told Fairfax Media that structural change in the labour market would continue to see growth in the service sector, including a plethora of new caring jobs.

This growth would more than offset a decline in jobs, including those in the manufacturing sector and through automation.
