Strong talent shortage trend Talent shortage trend Low/no shortage trend Strong employability challenge Medium employability challenge Talent gap trend 2010-20
2010-30
Significant talent gaps expected by 2020 and beyond (In countries with no talent shortage trend, employability is the challenge)
+ EUROPE Over the next decade, Western Europe’s talent supply will continuously decrease, leading to an almost empty talent pipeline by 2020, and reaching an average growth rate of only 0% to 1% (with some countries having negative growth rates). Economic growth expectations coinciding with projected waves of retirements will force employers to find, attract and retain scarce talent.
War for right talents
+ ASIA PACIFIC Except for Australia, report no shortage trends in numbers of people, due to economic growth, higher birth rates and population sizes. However, talent gaps are still anticipated in these countries due to lower skill levels. ~70% of individuals in developed countries currently meet the definition of “talent,” compared to ~30% in developing countries (Source: WEF Global talent risk 2011)
+ US Expected talent gaps will be caused mainly by demographic shifts – notably, the retirement of baby boomers. Immigration and expected birth rates will not balance the workforce losses caused by aging populations.
With Experiential Leadership Development Model, AIESEC is developing a global talent pool, who could be the future leadership pipeline in organizations.
