  7. Retirement • Older population => retirement costs • Retirement age • Labor force • People / Job opening • Youth unemployment

  8. Labor Force • Labor force => Need for capital • (later on this) • Rigid or flexible labor force? • If the former – youth unemployment • If the latter - youth unemployment

  9. Changes… • Aging population => consumption , savings , investment • Theoretically – lower capital formation (young people and their toys) • But theoretically – greater role of the services sector (labor intensive)

  10. What’s it to young people? • They are: • Flexible, energetic, familiar with the world • Less demanding, short-sighted, easily manipulated • Lacking experience, which is not always a bad thing • Worst hit during layoffs

  11. Causes for youth unemployment • Definition: unemployed / labor force(15-24) • Possible causes: • Education; skills and expectations mismatch; shocks; grey economy; geographical; migration.

  12. We’re doing this ourselves… • 75% employment - job creation? • Green economy – higher costs! • 40% tertiary education - !?
