About this listen
By 2050, Europe and Central Asia will lose 17 million workers from its workforce — yet productivity growth has been stalled since 2008. This episode unpacks the demographic cliff threatening the region's prosperity and asks: how do you grow an economy when your labor force is shrinking? We explore why young SMEs generate nearly 40% of new jobs despite employing only 14% of workers, how an overqualification paradox leaves half the workforce underutilized, and why closing the AI gap is no longer optional.
