IMF SEMINAR EVENT
DATE: April 21, 2017
DAY: Friday
4:30 PM - 5:45 PM
LOCATION: IMF HQ1, Meeting Halls A&B
Overview
The workforce in 2050 will look very different from that of today, as aging continues and working-age populations start to shrink. In an era of such profound demographic change, a productivity revolution becomes a necessity. Can automation boost workers’ productivity, especially for those in the ranks of the elderly? Does the way we currently measure output and productivity truly capture the “new economy” and how the younger, tech-savvy generations work? How can companies leverage technology and a “more experienced” workforce? Can innovation, family, and immigration policies help? Join us in seeking answers to these questions and exploring policy options to address the challenges posed by demographic changes around the world
