A looming 'demographic cliff': Fewer college students and ultimately fewer graduates The diminishing supply of young people will contribute to "a massive labor shortage," with an estimated 6 million fewer workers in 2032 than jobs needing to be filled, according to the labor market analytics firm Lightcast. https://lnkd.in/gV7q6c3J
Thanks to John Gill and Times Higher Education colleagues for hosting a session on where the sector is with recruitment and how to use data to help - https://lnkd.in/e_5iQRZK The central result from us is this graph showing the entry rate of 18 year olds tipping back into growth. It is down solely to the efforts made by the sector to improve the success rate of 18 year olds this year which also bodes well for the application rate for 2025. With the entry rate going up again current forecasts have this segment could increase by 80,000 or so by the end for the decade. Though the funding rate would need to increase to make this happen.

Check out this insightful new blog by my HCM colleagues, Martha Snyder and Jessica Collis. They make the case that postsecondary education needs transformative change to address public concerns over affordability and relevance, emphasizing that affordable, workforce-aligned education is essential for economic mobility and public trust.
As we close out 2024, our Partner Martha Snyder and Director of Advocacy and Change Management Jessica Collis make the case in our latest Insights blog that higher ed is facing a transformation imperative. Rising costs, public skepticism, and rapid workforce shifts demand that higher education becomes more affordable, relevant, and accountable. Data shows 85% of unenrolled adults cite cost as the main barrier, while underemployment and unemployment rates among graduates raises doubts about the value of a degree. To address these concerns, we’re seeing some promising moves: states investing in workforce-aligned credentials and institutions reshaping programs to meet evolving needs. But isolated changes aren’t enough. True transformation requires transparent affordability, accountability in program quality, and a focus on economic mobility.
