GCRI · Futuro del lavoro e delle competenze

Pianificazione istituzionale della forza lavoro

Hospitals, schools, utilities and public administrations must anticipate how many staff with which skills they will need, as demand, technology and demographics change. Shortages in critical services can become crises when shocks hit. This page sets out how workforce planning works, how supply and demand for skills are forecast and monitored, and what evidence serves the institutions and governments that plan their workforce.

Institutional workforce planning on the record.

02La domanda

Institutional workforce planning: how the risk develops.

Public and private sector capacity. The dossier below sets out how the risk develops, what is measured, where the data come from, how it is modelled and who decides.

Meccanismo

Training takes years

Doctors, nurses, engineers and teachers take years to train, so shortages cannot be fixed quickly and planning must look ahead.

Meccanismo

Retirement waves create gaps

Ageing workforces in public services face waves of retirement that drain experience faster than recruits can replace it.

Meccanismo

Migration moves skills

Health and other professionals migrate to higher-paying countries, relieving shortages there and creating them in origin countries.

Meccanismo

Shortages cascade in crises

In emergencies, understaffed services lose capacity first, and burnout among remaining staff can drive further departures.

09Questioni centrali

What workforce planners ask.

  • What skills will the organisation or sector need in five and ten years?
  • How many people with those skills exist, and how many will retire or leave?
  • Where are shortages most likely to disrupt critical services?
  • How can capacity be built, through training, recruitment, redesign or technology?
10Meccanismi

Why shortages persist.

Training skilled workers takes years, so supply responds slowly to demand. Ageing workforces in sectors such as health, utilities and public administration create waves of retirement. Public sector pay structures may not compete for scarce skills such as digital, engineering and data roles. Critical national missions, such as an energy transition or a disaster recovery programme, can require skills faster than sistemi can produce them.

Planning often fails because it extrapolates past trends, works in sector silos and is not linked to education provision or funding decisions.

11Metodi e dati

Tools for planning capacity.

  1. 01

    Supply and demand modelling

    Projecting workforce stock and needs under scenarios, using economia ed economia dello sviluppo. Projections are sensitive to assumptions about technology and policy.

  2. 02

    Competency mapping

    Defining the competencies roles require and assessing the current workforce against them.

  3. 03

    Scenario planning

    Testing workforce plans against different futures, using econometria and expert judgement. Scenarios are not forecasts.

  4. 04

    Capacity audits

    Reviewing critical roles, single points of failure and succession.

14Domande

Domande e risposte.

What is workforce planning?
The process of forecasting the number and skills of staff an organisation or sector will need and planning how to meet that need.
Why do health worker shortages persist?
Because training takes years, workers retire and migrate, and conditions drive some to leave, while demand rises with ageing populations.
What is the WHO Global Code on recruitment?
A voluntary code that sets principles for the ethical international recruitment of health personnel, with countries reporting on its implementation.
Why do workforce plans often miss?
They tend to extrapolate past trends, overlook interactions between sectors and are not linked to training and funding decisions. Scenario-based planning helps address this.
Can technology fill skill shortages?
Sometimes partly, by automating tasks or supporting less specialised staff. It can also create new shortages in the skills needed to run the technology.
Does the platform produce workforce plans for organisations?
No. It publishes methods and research. Organisations plan their own workforces; scoped technical assistance is described by Agency.
How does an ageing workforce affect planning?
It creates retirement waves that can remove experience faster than it can be replaced, so knowledge transfer and succession become planning priorities.
What is a single point of failure in a workforce?
A critical function that depends on one person or a very small group, so that their absence would stop the service.
