Abstract
This quick note summarizes the similarly
titled report released on February 17, 2009, which assesses
global labor and job mobility that is migration and
outsourcing with a focus on Europe and Middle East and North
Africa (MENA). The report looks at long term global
demographic and labor force developments to assess which
parts of the world will experience aging populations and
major declines in their labor force and which will see an
expansion. Two pillars underpin the analysis presented in
this report. First, increasingly strong forces will be
pulling for the migration of people and jobs across the
world's regions in the future. Second, countries and
regions can adopt a proactive approach to prepare for these
global changes, to seize opportunities, and to address risks
head on.
