Abstract

In a recent survey ‘The Battle for Brainpower’, The Economist of 5 October, 2006 argues that talent has become the world’s most sought-after commodity. The greying of populations and the retirement of the baby-boom generation throughout the developed world, the increasing globalization and the shift towards ‘tacit’ jobs makes the shortage of young graduates a serious problem. No economy can afford to be complacent about the war for talent. Alongside the rapid progress of China and India with their huge pools of young talented people and notwithstanding the greying of China, greying Europe faces particular challenges if it does not want to struggle to find enough engineers, scientists, doctors, lawyers and managers.
