Workforce
* Brown Scenario - High Exit Rate
** Orange Scenario - Low Exit Rate
Projections of the work force based on the assumptions presented above show steady and potentially dramatic declines in supply. The more realistic brown scenario to 2005 anticipate a 20% drop while the orange would show a slight drop. Extending these simulations out to 2015 accentuates the impact of current demographics and the decline in the labour force could reach nearly 50%.
