NATURAL POPULATION GROWTH
Opportunities:
it may be easier to recruit good staff as working population increases
Constraint : increased birth rates may take years before they impact on the working population
NET MIGRATION
Opportunities : it may be easier to recruit good staff at lower rates of pay
highly qualified staff might be recruited from other countries
Constraint :'brain drain' of qualified and experienced staff to other countries will reduce competitiveness
Immigrants may need more training; e.g., in language and cultural issues

Constraint : older staff may be less flexible and adaptable; e.g., to the introduction of new workplace technologies (caution! this is very stereotypical)
