Europe's aging workforce unprepared for longevity, says Principal CEO

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

European populations are aging rapidly, with over one-fifth of the European Union's population now over 65 and this demographic projected to double by the end of the century. Deanna Strable, CEO of Principal Financial Group, warns that companies are unprepared for this demographic shift, which will necessitate longer working lives and adaptations in hiring and training practices. The longevity trend also exacerbates the pension gender gap, as women tend to have lower earnings and more career breaks, resulting in smaller retirement savings that must last longer. AI

IMPACT Companies will need to adapt HR strategies and training programs to accommodate an aging workforce, potentially leveraging AI for reskilling.
