america's dynamic workforce: 2008 |
A source of strength of the U.S. economy is the ability to recognize and
embrace change: to transform challenges into opportunities. This chapter
presents two key dynamics that will affect the shape of the U.S. labor force in
the first half of the 21st century: an aging population and increasing racial
and ethnic diversity. Both factors are expected to coincide with a pronounced
slowing in labor force growth.17
Another factor slowing labor force growth is the plateauing of women’s labor
force participation.
