This paper provides a decomposition of the projected change in the overall labour force into three parts. The first, called the “demographic component”, shows the effects of fertility, mortality and a changing age structure of the population. The second effect is the migration component....

"Forecasts show a substantially decreasing and ageing labour force in Germany. This paper provides a decomposition of the projected change in the overall labour force into three parts. The first, called the 'demographic component', shows the effects of fertility, mortality and a changing age...

Prognosen sind unsicher, vor allem wenn sie sich auf die Zukunft beziehen. Dieses bekannte Bonmot gilt auch für Bevölkerungsprognosen, obwohl die nach dem Selbstverständnis der 'Prognostiker' keine Prognosen sondern eher Projektionen oder Modellrechnungen sind. Solche Rechnungen sind...

Die Arbeit untersucht die Faktoren, von denen das künftige Arbeitskräfteangebot beeinflusst wird. Die Veränderung des sog. Erwerbspersonenpotenzials wird dazu in die Haupteinflussfaktoren Demografie im engeren Sinne (natürliche Bevölkerungsbewegung einschließlich der Alterung), Wanderungen...

This paper presents a stochastic integrated model to forecast the German population and labour supply until 2060. Within a cohort-component approach, the population forecast applies principal components to birth, mortality, emigration and immigration rates. The labour force participation rates...

Im Zuge des demografischen Wandels schrumpft das Angebot an Arbeitskräften, während die Zahl der Rentner deutlich steigt. Die Autoren prognostizieren, wie sich das Erwerbspersonenpotenzial in Deutschland bis 2050 entwickeln wird. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass - in der langen Frist - Zuwanderung...

The demographic development in Germany will lead to a declining number of people of working age and thus potentially in the labour force. The age structure is shifting towards older cohorts. The labour force will decline by 16 million workers between 2020 and 2060. However, an increase in the...
