Abstract

In diesem Artikel werden Innovation und Produktivität im Verhältnis zur demografischen Entwicklung besprochen, insbesondere zur Alterung der Arbeitskräfte und zu den möglichen Folgen für den Arbeitsmarkt, für die personellen Ressourcen, das lebenslange Lernen und die Innovationsfähigkeit. Einen Ausgangspunkt bildet dabei das allgemein angenommene Missverhältnis zwischen Innovationsfähigkeit und älteren Arbeitnehmern. In diesem Artikel wird die Frage untersucht, was der demografische Wandel mit der Innovationsfähigkeit zu tun hat. Die Antwort bleibt im besten Falle unklar. Sie hängt davon ab, wie wir die demografischen Herausforderungen meistern. Das Potenzial für den Wohlstand ist vorhanden – aber auch das Potenzial für Gefahren. Das Festhalten an traditionellen Auffassungen, ob an Innovation und Innovatoren, an lebenslanges Lernen und an die Kompetenzentwicklung oder an die Beschäftigung und die berufliche Entwicklung in der zweiten Lebenshälfte, führt unausweichlich zur Ansicht, dass mit der weiteren Alterung der Bevölkerung massive Probleme drohen. Die Tatsache, dass die demografische Situation bereits heute klar ist, und speziell, was die nächsten 40 Jahre betrifft, ist historisch gesehen einzigartig. Und tatsächlich erfordert jede Reaktion, die zur Lösungssuche für die Herausforderungen durch die Alterung der Arbeitskräfte und deren Folgen beiträgt, selbst innovatives Denken.
