SHORTAGE OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND SKILLS IN THE RIGHT PARTS OF THE WORLD
FUNDAMENTAL FUTURE WORKFORCE CHALLENGE
3
SETTING THE SCENE
• Global labour markets are set for an unprecedented upheaval in the next two decades
• Let the statistics tell the story – the world’s labour force will increase by more than a fifth by 2030 (more than a billion people) however all of that growth will occur in developing economies
• The workforce in most developed economies will plateau, decline and age
• Shift in economic power from the developed to the developing world as that new workforce is put to work and generates wealth
CREATING JOBS IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY
THE HAYS/OXFORD ECONOMICS GLOBAL REPORT

5
BACKGROUND
• At Hays we wanted to understand how global trends might impact our own recruitment business over the next 20 years
• Our customers were already concerned about the skills shortages they were facing
• Oxford Economics provided a globally consistent analysis of demographic and macroeconomic developments across the world’s major economies
• Analysis of industrial sectors and the labour market
• Input from one of the UK’s leading academic labour market economists, Professor Ken Mayhew of Oxford University

HOW WILL LABOUR MARKETS CHANGE BETWEEN 2010 AND 2030?
7
IMPACT OF EXPECTED SECTORAL SHIFTS BETWEEN 2010-2030
8
DO EMEs HAVE SUFFICIENT SKILLED LABOUR?
• Over the past decade, number of university graduates increased by 30% in China and 6.3% in India. UK (3.3%)
• Expected to continue as still well behind West
• Quality of degrees?
• Shortage of experienced skilled labour in these countries. Need for inward migration
9
‘HOUR GLASS’ LABOUR MARKET IN THE WEST?
10
ANY REASONS FOR OPTIMISM FOR SKILLED LABOUR MARKETS IN THE WEST – YOUR OWN AND YOUR CLIENTS?
• Europe and North America are world leaders in several high value added sectors (financial services, R&D, pharmaceuticals research and aerospace engineering)
• Export opportunities – as per capita incomes rise in developing countries, large numbers of people afford products for the first time
• Increasing integration will require rising levels of intermediation Increase demand for financial and business services
• High quality university education means developed countries will remain big suppliers of skilled labour to developing economies
11
A CALL TO ACTIONHAYS’ FIVE POINT PLAN
• Keep national borders open for movements of skilled labour
• Agree international code to facilitate employee migration
• Invest in skills and training
• Develop sector specific strategies
• Retain older people in the workplace
12
KEEP NATIONAL BORDERS OPEN FOR MOVEMENT OF SKILLED LABOUR
Issue Developing Markets Developed Markets
Worker population
Rapid and significant growth Static, declining
Sector shifts Agrarian to industrial ServicesHigh value
Skills Match High end – acute existing shortageLower end - surplus
High end – existing shortageLower end – forecast shortage
Solution: Ensure migration laws allow appropriate transfer of skilled labour between countries
13
INVEST IN TRAINING AND EDUCATION
Developing Job Market Developed Job Market
• Governments to build skills in areas that suit the local economy
• Develop higher education systems in all countries
• Employees to focus on industries where technology drives productivity, not replacement
• Access to re-skilling in developed markets
• Leverage major new markets as populations and prosperity grow
• High end • High skilled
• Semi-skilled • Routine
• Low end• Face to face
Roles
14
DEGREE EDUCATION
• Degree classification – what is classed as a first rate degree?
• Reputation of the university? Content of the course?
• Vocational rather than academic?
• What role are employers taking in influencing the development
of relevant courses for business?
Employer engagement examples e.g. Durham University
15
WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING IN YOUR CUSTOMERS?SECTOR SPECIFIC FACTORS OVERLAY THE MACRO ECONOMIC TRENDS
Financial servicesLikely to remain key in existing locations
Will require more resources and more advanced skills
HealthcareSignificant additional demand from the West
Further pressure on existing shortages in developing world
Climate change
Jobs losses in fossil fuels
Offset by net job creation in renewable energy
Knock-on impact in manufacturing and production
InfrastructureMassive investment in developing markets
Acute shortages of advanced skills
16
RETAIN OLDER PEOPLE IN THE WORKPLACE
Implications
• Maintaining modern and relevant skills
• Propensity for part-time/self employed
• Leveraging experience base
• Safety nets for displacements
Age profile
Age profile
17
THE AGE DEBATE• The world’s population is ageing very fast
• Future retirement age in the UK set to rise to 66 for women and 68 for
men in 2044
• Different labour market characteristics – self-employed, part-time, temporary i.e.
more flexible way of working
• Is this supply-led or demand-led? If supply-led, this will likely reduce the supply
of skilled labour available to recruit. If demand-led it is a sign that older workers
will change work patterns to fit employer’s needs
• It is as yet uncertain which is the dominant cause but it will shape the
profile of a future workforce
18
GENERATION “Y”
• Have we entered a new generation in the last few years?
• Generation “Y” has to be recognised
• What is Generation “Y”? Generation born between 1980 and 1993
• Shape and influence professional practice for future decades
What are the specific challenges to recruit, develop, engage and
retain the future human capital (Generation “Y”) of your practice to
ensure continued value creation?
19
HEADLINES
• Dynamic career progression yet diverging career expectations
• “Classic” finance career path - progression and success indicated by
increasing knowledge and expertise
• “New directions” – breadth of experience outside of traditional
mainstream finance roles
Generation “Y” = huge potential = opportunity
Generation “Y” = high expectations = potential threat
20
GENERATION “Y“: REALISING THE POTENTIAL
Report/joint research paper by ACCA and Mercer
• Attraction – how do you open the door to young talent?
• Lifestyle factor
• Development – unleash the potential but at what cost?
• Retention – how do you keep hold of them?
• Mobility and career ladder
21
DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR. HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY…• “I really feel a company should be environmentally friendly.”
• “The brand is important because it reflects on me as an individual.”
• “The most important thing for me is the career development an organisation can offer
me.”
• “I cannot praise my team enough, it is a special experience to work with them.”
• “I feel the finance job I am doing now was a little mis-sold to me. There is limited career
opportunity and progression.”
22
WAR FOR TALENT
• Over 3,000 finance professionals of Generation “Y” took part
in the survey
• Hard reality – over one third said they wanted to leave their
current employer at the present time and over half do not
expect to be with their current employer in 3 years time
