The ISA Demographic Impact Study
How Will Demographic Change Impact Your Community?
Over the next 10 to 25 years, demographic change will have a major impact on communities around the world. Some regions will grow rapidly. Others will face population decline. Nearly all will experience significant changes in the size and age of their workforce, their housing needs, demand for public services, and the composition of their tax base.
Do you know what these changes will mean for your community or your business?
ISA (International Strategic Analysis) helps businesses, economic development organizations and governments understand not only how their populations are likely to change, but what those changes will mean for their economies, finances and public services.
An ISA Demographic Impact Study can help your business or community answer critical questions such as:
- How will the population change through 2030, 2040 and 2050?
- Will we have enough working-age people to meet future workforce needs?
- How will an aging population affect healthcare and public services?
- How will demographic change affect housing demand?
- What could population change mean for tax bases and public finances?
- How will school-age and younger populations change?
- What role will domestic and international migration play in future population changes?
- What infrastructure and services will the future population require?
- What can we do today to take advantage of demographic opportunities and mitigate demographic risks?
Recently, ISA conducted this type of analysis for several businesses, organizations and governments around the world, developing long-term population forecasts and assessing how demographic change could impact the economy and the future development of these regions.
The goal is not simply to forecast your population. It is to give your community a roadmap for preparing for demographic change.
Each study can be customized to the needs of your business or community and includes detailed demographic analysis and forecasts, an assessment of economic and public-service impacts, strategic recommendations, and a presentation of the findings to members and partners. Furthermore, the findings from this study can be presented at one of your events, enabling all of your stakeholders to understand how demographic change will affect them in the coming years.
If demographic change is becoming an important issue for your business or community, we would be happy to discuss what an ISA Demographic Impact Study could look like for you. We can schedule a call to discuss this in more detail, or we can create a proposal for your own Demographic Impact Study.
