Chapter One去钓鱼市场上的熟练工人很快将不能满足需求,各地的公司都需要加强自己的实力来吸引熟练职工。
1在20世纪80年代,雇主从来没来没有这么好。
过长的失业队伍使商人和不满劳工组织的政客可以轻而易得的把他们的意愿强加在70年代使他们常常难堪的劳工组织身上。
1981年罗那德.里根接受了美国航空(巨头们)的挑战并获得了胜利。
1985年,玛格丽特.撒切尔痛击了英国的矿主们。
同年美国控股者——卡儿.伊卡恩先生在没有遇到工人们反对的情况下拆分了环球航空公司——TWA。
2到了90年代,情况发生了变化。
在大多数经济合作与发展组织的大国中,总劳动力将持续增长,但年轻熟练的劳动者将会短缺。
70年代众多劳动力的情景看起来不可能重现。
年轻劳动力的短缺问题意味着美国、日本,乃至欧洲的公司将不得不寻找一个新的方法去吸引、激励、奖励和挽留雇工。
3“人口统计学的定时炸弹”也许被很好地隐藏起来了!如果发生90年代初经济的轻微衰退的话,首先会带来失业人数的剧增,但是除非世界经济持续恶化,否则劳动力短缺的问题在20世纪90年代将必然加剧。
考虑如下:4与70年代美国人口增长22.2million(2.6%)以及80年代增长了18.3million(1.6%)相比,90年代美国人口仅增长了15.9million(1.2%)。
16岁至24岁的人口数量将有一个绝对的下降,而超过了35岁的人口比例将会由原来的39%增长到49%。
5假设欧盟的12各成员国不再增加,欧共体的人口将会维持在大约325million。
然而年轻人将会更少,65岁以上的人将会更多。
除爱尔兰以外,所有的欧共体国家都将缺少年轻的劳动力。
在世纪之交之时,英、法劳动力中25岁以下的劳动力将以每年2%的速度下降,西德的速度将为每年3.6%。
来自东德的移民会对此起到一点帮助,但作用不大:东德仍将面临年轻劳动力短缺的问题。
6 20世纪90年代日本人口将缓慢增长,但是领取养老金的人口比例将从11%增长到15%。
