    The Global Skills Convergence publication argues that there is a demographic faultline running through much of the developed world which will impact negatively on the supply of labor and talent during the next decade.

     

    KPMG has accessed, with permission, unpublished data from the United Nations Population Division which shows the net flow of migrants between a range of countries this decade and again ten years earlier. The argument advanced in this study is that in the 21st century, labor and talent is increasingly able to flow seamlessly across the globe.

     

    As part of this study we conducted interviews with key personnel at global corporations who have, or have had, responsibility for managing a global workforce. In many cases interview subjects have more than 25 years experience.
