Following a significant election year, the focus shifts to the geopolitical landscape, marked by escalating trade tensions and tighter border controls. Beyond these immediate concerns, a more insidious long-term risk for global organizations is the societal impact of changing demographics. UN data, highlighted in a McKinsey report, reveals a growing "youth scarcity" due to declining birth rates and aging populations in advanced economies. 

This demographic shift threatens economic growth and creates a challenge for businesses needing more workers for longer hours to maintain productivity. With birth replacement rates below 2.1 in many developed nations, this problem is exacerbated. Consequently, businesses are moving away from traditional HR structures and building global workforce functions.
