Developed nations worldwide are facing increasing retirements and greater numbers of young workers. As seen in the figure below, the percentage of the population between the ages of 15 and 64 years old is decreasing in North America, Japan, Australia, France, and the UK, while Brazil and India are showing increases. This demographic is creating global movements of jobs, skills and population and an increased focus on attracting, developing and retaining key talent.
