Private and public institutions are now able to reach out to the most talented workers in a cost-effective manner, which has created opportunities for talented individuals and countries with skilled workforces.

The large numbers of scheduled retirements should not only be seen as an opportunity to cut down on workforces and budgets, as is often the case, but mostly as a chance for organizations to acquire a younger staff with a more modern organizational culture and to ensure an influx of the expert knowledge which they are at present lacking in several emerging fields such as information management and technology, governance, sustainable development and capacity-building.

预定大批人退休不仅应该象通常一样看成是削减人力和预算的一个机会，而且基本上应该看成是各组织的一种机会，来争取具有比较现代的组织文化的年轻工作人员并确保吸收这些组织目前在信息管理和技术、治理、可持续发展的能力等几个新兴领域缺乏的专家知识。
