Abstract

[eng] Adapting to a Shortage of Labor beyond the Year 2000 - The past or present demographic trends in France and almost anywhere in developed countries have an effect which is rather easy to forecast on the job supply: there will be a possible drop if the fertility rate remains at a low level, but also in the case of an ageing population, which seems unavoidable and which has already started. Will this lead to a reversal of the present disequilibrium between the job supply and demand, with the appearance of a labor shortage? If this is the case, some factors could remedy it: continued immigration, an increase in the number of working years or of working women. These adjustments have a varied plausibility. But reaching the ceiling (or the contraction) of labor resources can also be compensated by improved productivity. [spa] Adaptarse a una penuria de mano de obra - Las evoluciones demográficas acaecidas o las que se están dando en Francia y en la casi totalidad de los países desarrollados tienen consecuencias muy faciles de prever en la oferta de trabajo: redución eventual si la fecundidad se mantiene a un nivel bajo y también envejecimiento. Este ultimo, resulta ineluctable y por otra parte, ya se ha iniciado. . ¿ Esta situacin debe necesariamente conducir a una al principio del siglo XXI . inversion del desequilibrio entre la oferta y la demanda de trabajo con la aparición de una penuria de mano de obra? Si tal es el caso, algunos factores podrían aportar una solución a este problema: prosecución de la inmigración, acrecentamiento de la duración de la vida activa o de la actividad femenina, entre otros. Estos ajustes son de plausibilidad variable pero el tope o la contracción de los recursos en mano de obra puede también ser compensado por progresos en la productividad. [fre] Les évolutions démographiques passées ou en cours en France et dans la quasi-totalité des pays développés ont des conséquences assez faciles à prévoir sur l'offre de travail : réduction éventuelle si la fécondité se maintient à un niveau bas, mais aussi vieillissement, qui apparaît inéluctable et qui est d'ores et déjà amorcé. Ceci doit-il conduire à une inversion du déséquilibre actuel entre l'offre et la demande de travail, avec l'apparition d'une pénurie de main-d'œuvre ? Si c'est cas, certains pourraient y remédier : poursuite de l'immigration, accroissement de la durée de vie active ou de l'activité féminine. Ces ajustements sont de plausibilité variable. Mais le plafonnement (ou la contraction) des ressources en main- d'œuvre peut aussi être compensé par des progrès de productivité.
