Confronting the Talent Crunch: 2007

Talent shortages exist in
many areas of the global
labor force today, a situation
that will grow more acute
and more widespread
across more jobs over the
next 10 years – and could
threaten the engines of
world economic growth
and prosperity.

This paper, which has been updated since its original
publication in 2006, explores which trends are likely to
become more pronounced, and what further steps
governments and employers can take in response. It
also looks at how individuals can be both encouraged
and enabled to regularly redefine their career objectives,
renew their skills and, when necessary, re-engage with
the labor force in more sustainable ways.
