This TED Talk Explains Why Labor Market Shortages Will Persist
Readers of LaborUnionNews.com, as well as listeners of Labor Relations Radio, know that we have given a lot of coverage over the last two years to labor market shortages and the causes behind it.
In September, for example, we had Demographer Bradley Schurman on Labor Relations Radio (listen here) to share why employers can't seem to find employees.
This 10-minute TED Talk featuring Jennifer D. Sciubba, an internationally recognized expert in the field of political demography, further explains how, with birth rates falling, the worldwide human population is getting older and smaller.
For many human resources professionals, to summarize Schurman on the podcast, recognizing this trend and what it means to have a multi-generational workplace, as well as the policies to accommodate an aging workforce, will help differentiate success (or failure) in the future.
