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.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONAGE GROUPBRAIN DRAINBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOUNTRIES OF ORIGINDEFICIT REGIONSDEMOGRAPHICDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT EFFECTIVENESSECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION SYSTEMSEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT CREATIONFAMILY REUNIFICATIONFINANCIAL SYSTEMFOREIGN EXCHANGEGLOBAL ACTIONGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETSGLOBALIZATIONGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTHIGH ILLITERACY RATESHOST COUNTRIESILLITERACYIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONINCOMEINCOMESINNOVATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL POLICYINVESTMENT CLIMATEIRREGULAR MIGRATIONJOB CREATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOBSLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE GROWTHLABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET NEEDSLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR MOBILITYLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHLABOR SHORTAGESLEVEL OF EDUCATIONMANPOWERMIGRANTMIGRANT LABORMIGRANT WORKERSMIGRANTSMIGRATION POLICIESOCCUPATIONSOUTSOURCINGPOTENTIAL MIGRANTSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR JOBQUALITY OF LIFEREMITTANCEREMITTANCESREPLACEMENT WORKERSSAVINGSSECURITY CONCERNSSKILL DEVELOPMENTSKILL SHORTAGESSKILL STRUCTURESKILLED LABORSKILLED WORKERSKILLED WORKERSSKILLED WORKFORCESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SCIENCESSOCIAL WELFARESUPPLIERSTOTAL EMPLOYMENTUNDOCUMENTED MIGRATIONUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMUNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMSUNEMPLOYMENT RATESWORKERSWORKING CONDITIONSYOUNG WORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/10994
