Globalization, labor shortages, digitization, major demographic shifts, and the global pandemic that began in 2020 have redefined the workforce, workplace, and marketplace. Into the 2030s, workers will continue to experience a new normal in the way they work and live as workforce predictions come true.
In this chapter, I outline the key demographic shifts that have occurred in the workforce and that are predicted to occur in the next 10 to 20 years. I also detail how technological advances continue to impact the way we work and the jobs and skills that will be needed.
