It's going to only get worse. There is no indication that employers or states are ready to deal with the boomer retirement wave that is about to begin. In my home country Germany, this development has been forecast since the early 2000's [0]. And the reaction of previous governments has so far been similar to how climate change is dealt with. In Germany, leading politicians are currently debating on forcing young adults to work in elderly healthcare after finishing school, to at least deal with the most obvious signs of a declining workforce in the healthcare sector. [1] Employers are trying to turn towards cheap migrant labor due to shrinking applicant pools from inside the country. We too have the infamous "Fachkräftemangel" (skilled labor shortage) which is just a hoax - obviously employers are looking for skilled labor, that is also cheap. Eventually, you get anxiety and burnout, because there is this sense of ever lasting competition. When in reality, there will be less and less, because boomers will eventually die.
