Consider the big picture, as we…ve laid it out in previous issues of Trends:
꼑 The population of the developed world is rapidly aging.
꼑 The United States is the only advanced nation where the workforce is forecasted to grow over the next 50 years.
꼑 The populations of the EU and Japan are actually expected to shrink over that time period.
꼑 Even China is rapidly aging and the size of its workforce will peak around 2025.
꼑 At the same time, Latin America, India, the Middle East, and Africa all have young, rapidly growing populations of under-utilized workers and under-served consumers. |

|
활기찬 경제 성장에는 탄탄한 기반 시설, 즉 인프라가 필요하다. 고속도로, 철도, 휴대폰 중계탑, 공항, 항구, 탄탄한 전력망, 발전소, 원유 및 가스 파이프라인 및 상하수도 시설 등이 이에 해당된다. 선진국, 개발도상국이나 저개발 국가를 포함하여 2030년까지 이러한 글로벌 인프라 시장에 대한 투자 규모가 무려 70조 달러에서 100조 달러에 이를 것으로 예측된다. |
