Demographic shifts in the workforce: A leader’s guide
Leading Off
Share this email
Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms
Welcome to the latest edition of Leading Off. We hope you find our insights useful. Let us know what you think at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com.
—Alex and Axel
Of late, leaders have paid much attention to Gen Z’s entrance into the workforce, seeking to learn more about their youngest employees’ attitudes and motivations. But the future of work is not just a youth movement. Massive demographic shifts, such as increasing longevity and tightening labor markets, are expected to result in a growing share of older employees in the workforce. To account for these shifts and maintain growth, organizations will need to develop new strategies to boost productivity and increase labor intensity. This week, we look at how leaders can address the challenges of an aging workforce as the population transforms.
With fertility rates falling and people living longer, the world’s population is growing older—and changing the face of the workforce. The share of older people in the workforce will likely increase as the traditional working-age population (ages 15 to 64) shrinks, according to a McKinsey Global Institute report from McKinsey’s Anu Madgavkar, Chris Bradley, Olivia White, Sven Smit, and coauthors. Their analysis found that the first wave of this demographic shift is already occurring in advanced economies and China, where the share of working-age people is predicted to drop to 59 percent in 2050, compared with 67 percent today. The authors say that organizations should find ways to tailor their work practices to gain a competitive advantage. “With more older people in their workforces, businesses will need to adapt career planning, reorganize teams, encourage lifelong learning, and expand and adjust retraining programs,” they observe.
That’s the percentage of older adults (those aged 55 and older) who report being employed and also in good or very good health, according to a McKinsey Health Institute survey of more than 21,000 older adults across 21 countries. By comparison, 65 percent of respondents who are not employed (but want to be) report being in good or very good health. McKinsey senior partner Hemant Ahlawat and coauthors note that participating in social activities—such as volunteering, engaging in community programs, and furthering their education—also aligns with better-perceived health in older adults.
That’s McKinsey partner Bryan Hancock on how technology can help address worker shortages in skilled trades, such as carpentry, plumbing, and building. Workers in the United States are retiring later, in part because work is less physically demanding—but not in the skilled trades. In an episode of the McKinsey Talks Talent podcast, Hancock notes that automating some tasks can help reduce the physical toll on tradespeople and keep them on the job longer. At the same time, he says, employers will also need to help older workers feel engaged and find meaning in their work.
Gen Z workers love AI, while Gen Xers and baby boomers worry that the technology will take their jobs. Fair assumptions, right? Not according to a survey that found that a larger share of younger people fear the impact of AI at work, compared with their older peers who have already lived through tech-led transformations and changes in the workplace. This can serve as a good reminder for leaders to avoid buying into generational stereotypes. In a McKinsey survey of more than 30,000 global workers, senior partner Aaron De Smet and coauthors found that people’s expectations and needs at work are largely similar across age groups. Rather than focusing on broad generational labels, the authors say organizations should “take action on the factors that nearly all employees want—namely, compensation, career development, caring leadership, flexibility, and meaningful work—while appreciating the nuances of how they want them.”
Lead by supporting older workers.

The value of investing in employee health

Less than healthy. A workforce that’s healthy, resilient, and adaptable is better able to navigate the uncertainties and challenges of a rapidly changing world. Yet in a McKinsey Health Institute (MHI) survey of more than 30,000 global employees, only 57% reported good holistic health (that is, being physically, socially, spiritually, and mentally well). McKinsey Senior Partners Brooke Weddle and Shail Thaker and coauthors explain that with the wide variation in health outcomes across levels of education, income, and other demographic variables, improving workforce health often requires both systemic and tailored interventions.

4 hours left!! (Selling out now or pay DOUBLE)
I can’t believe it – it’s finally here…
This is officially THE FINAL email pushing you to grab one of the FINAL tickets to the FINAL Funnel Hacking LIVE!!!
So many finales it’s like the end of The Lord of The Rings!!
(I’m gonna take a moment to shed a tear ;)
Now, it wouldn’t be an official FINAL email if I didn’t tell you the bad news…
We only have 37 in-person tickets available.
We have sold out every year…
…and this was the fastest and craziest “sell out” I’ve seen (and it makes sense, seeing this is the LAST FHL).
If you’re planning on coming to Funnel Hacking LIVE… and for some reason haven’t gotten your tickets yet, then I’d recommend grabbing yours right now (literally, RIGHT NOW)…
>> Get Your FHL LAST DANCE Ticket Now <<
In 4 hours (if we don’t sell out before then) the price will be 2X what they are now…
And FHL is just days away…
So chances are, these last 37 tickets will be snapped up in no time.
So, what are you waiting for? LET'S GOOOOO!!!
I can’t emphasize enough…
This is it.
People will be talking about this event for YEARS AND YEARS to come.
People will be walking away from Vegas with a COMPLETELY new perspective on life, business, relationships…
FHL 10 – The Last Dance – could be the beginning of your NEW trajectory in life.
It’s up to you.
While I would want to savor this moment, seeing as this is the last email about the last FHL…
I have to go prepare the final touches on my presentations I know will be the next game-changer in the marketing world.
So with that said… if you want to have a thriving 2025, unleash your full potential, and have the business you’ve always wanted…
…then I’ll see you in Vegas.
Don’t forget: you have until midnight tonight before the price doubles.
See you next week!
Russell Brunson
P.S. - Don’t forget, you’re just one funnel away…
P.P.S. FHL ticket PRICE DOUBLES in 4 hours – get your ticket NOW before we sell out (or you pay double) →

Only 74 FHL tickets left…
There’s 8 hours left to get your FHL 10 THE LAST DANCE ticket before the price DOUBLES (or we sell out… whichever happens first.)
As of right now, there’s 74 in-person tickets left.
There was a massive spike in ticket sales… and it makes sense.
See, once I spilled the news about Tony Robbins…
…about how we sent a survey to all attendees of FHL 10, and how Tony is going to read each response and then tailor his message specifically for our Funnel Hackers…
…people jumped at this very real, once in a lifetime opportunity!!!
I mean…
…to have the greatest business and life coach in the world deliver a message that could become THE single ‘a-ha’ breakthrough you’ve been looking for…
You can’t even put a price on that…
Anyway, all that to say – I probably won’t be doubling the price because we now are DANGEROUSLY HIGH from selling out!!!
So this very well could be YOUR LAST CHANCE on securing a ticket for FHL (which is happening next week)!!
I want you to come join me at FHL in Vegas next week.
I want you to get out of your everyday environment, and immerse yourself in this exciting, high-energy community for 4 full days...
I want you to meet and connect with the other thousands of Funnel Hackers who will be attending with you…
I want you to sit in the same room with all the Two Comma award winners who are on this journey with you…
So you can see first-hand it’s possible for YOU too!
All of this is waiting for you at Funnel Hacking LIVE 10 – THE LAST DANCE!
But it looks like tickets will sell out within hours.
So, are you IN?
Grab your ticket now (only 74 left) →
Talk soon,
Russell Brunson
P.S. Don’t forget, you’re just one funnel away…
P.P.S. This is important because rooms are getting booked up everywhere… Once you purchase your ticket, you’ll want to go here and secure your room with our room block (aka where all of the funnel hackers will be hanging out and masterminding) →© Etison LLC

You heard what Tony Robbins did…?!
Super important, so please read the whole thing…
So by now you may have heard –
Tony Robbins’ team reached out and asked if they could send a survey to all FHL attendees – that way Tony can tailor his message SPECIFICALLY for Funnel Hackers!!
Tony is so pumped about speaking at the LAST Funnel Hacking LIVE, he’s going to personally read every response.
Just imagine what it will feel like to have Tony Robbins deliver the EXACT message you’ve been needing to hear… and it’s the single “a-ha” moment that becomes the catalyst to the un-ending success thereafter…
Imagine…
Tony unearthing years and years of hurtful, judgmental talk you and I have done to ourselves… with a presentation that shakes you to your core and helps you unleash your full potential, becoming the greatest version of yourself, which spreads across all areas of your life.
Listen, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: LIVES WILL CHANGE.
And if you want to set yourself up for MASSIVE success, and create the change you want so you can have a THRIVING business in 2025…
…then you’ll want to hurry and grab one of the LAST remaining FHL tickets here →
That’s the next part I need to talk to you about…
I just got today’s update…
We have 136 FHL tickets left. 🤯
Which means at this rate, I’m guessing we’ll hit MAX occupancy before I have to double ticket prices tonight at midnight!
If you haven’t grabbed your ticket yet, make sure you…
Secure your ticket now (before the price doubles tonight!) →
I don’t want you left behind… or having to pay DOUBLE the cost.
Look…
We’ve already poured over $5+ MILLION into this year’s Funnel Hacking LIVE event (and the number continues to climb...) with all of the events, amazing food, world-class speakers we’re bringing to the stage, etc.
Which might seem totally insane...
I’ve had people ask me “WHY?”...
“Why would you dump that much cash on ONE event?”
Because... I believe in YOU!
Because… I believe in bringing you world-class speakers to reveal to you what’s currently working in the marketplace.
Because… I want you to see & feel for yourself what happens when you put thousands of #funnelhackers in a room together, connecting, learning from each other, and scheming together for 4 straight days.
Because… I want you (and your business) to come away forever changed.
Because… I want you to see what’s possible as you watch hundreds of other #funnelhackers walk across the stage to accept their ‘Two Comma Club’ award...
...and truly realize that YOU can do it, too.
I believe in you that much.
So join me in Vegas next week — I can’t wait for you to see all the cool stuff I have planned for you!
Reserve Your Funnel Hacking LIVE 10 Ticket NOW (PRICE DOUBLES @ MIDNIGHT) →
Talk soon,
Russell Brunson
P.S. Don’t forget, you’re just one funnel away…

A WARNING if you’re on the fence…
This is it…
48 hours before we either sell out tickets to Funnel Hacking LIVE 10 (The LAST DANCE)…
Or I DOUBLE the ticket cost! Muahaha!! ;)
You have until THIS SUNDAY AT MIDNIGHT to grab one of the remaining tickets to FHL, before the ticket price to attend FHL doubles!!
GRAB YOUR FHL TICKET NOW BEFORE THE PRICE DOUBLES →
As of this past week, we’ve sold nearly 5 BAJILLION tickets (Scratch that - nearly all of our 5,000 tickets!!)
I found out a TON of people who will be attending ASW (Affiliate Summit West) are gonna stay the following week so they can join us at Funnel Hacking LIVE 10!!
So if you’re going to be at Affiliate Summit West… then do what a ton of people are already doing and extend your time and join us with the Funnel Hacking family!
It’s kind of the perfect combo when you think about it… you’re going to learn how to become THE RADICAL at Funnel Hacking Live… which is EXACTLY what you’ll need to do in order to SCALE your offers, including affiliate offers, to a whole new level!!
…and this is coming from a well-known super-affiliate who’s been doing affiliate marketing for YEARS! ;)
But there’s a problem…
We have less than a couple hundred seats left before we hit MAX occupancy.
And ticket sales are still flooding in!
So if you haven’t gotten your FHL ticket yet, and you’re planning to go to FHL or Affiliate Summit West...
Consider this just about your “final warning”.
I can’t stress this enough:
Grab one of the remaining tickets now, and come join us at Funnel Hacking LIVE! (THE LAST DANCE) →
Tickets will be GONE or DOUBLED in price on Sunday at 11:59pm.
Talk soon,
Russell Brunson
P.S. - Don’t forget, you’re just one funnel away…
P.P.S. - Grab one of the REMAINING tickets to FHL BEFORE the price doubles this Sunday @ midnight!! →© Etison LLC

It is said to have developed a powerful AI model at a remarkably low cost, approximately $6 million for the final training run. In January 2025, it is said to have released its latest reasoning-focused model known as DeepSeek R1.
The release made it the No. 1 downloaded free app on the Apple Play Store.
Most AI models are trained using supervised fine-tuning, meaning they learn by mimicking large datasets of human-annotated examples. This method has limitations.
DeepSeek R1 overcomes these limitations by using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), a reinforcement learning technique that improves reasoning efficiency by comparing multiple possible answers within the same context.
Some facts about DeepSeek’s R1 model are as follows:DeepSeek-R1 uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with 671 billion total parameters, activating only 37 billion parameters per task.
It employs selective parameter activation through MoE for resource optimization.
The model is pre-trained on 14.8 trillion tokens across 52 languages.
DeepSeek-R1 was trained using just 2000 Nvidia GPUs. By comparison, ChatGPT-4 needed approximately 25K Nvidia GPUs over 90-100 days.
The model is 85-90% more cost-effective than competitors.
It excels in mathematics, coding, and reasoning tasks.
Also, the model has been released as open-source under the MIT license.

What is an AI Agent?
An AI agent is a software program that can interact with its environment, gather data, and use that data to achieve predetermined goals. AI agents can choose the best actions to perform to meet those goals.
Key characteristics of AI agents are as follows:
An agent can perform autonomous actions without constant human intervention. Also, they can have a human in the loop to maintain control.
Agents have a memory to store individual preferences and allow for personalization. It can also store knowledge. An LLM can undertake information processing and decision-making functions.
Agents must be able to perceive and process the information available from their environment.
Agents can also use tools such as accessing the internet, using code interpreters and making API calls.
Agents can also collaborate with other agents or humans.
Multiple types of AI agents are available such as learning agents, simple reflex agents, model-based reflex agents, goal-based agents, and utility-based agents.
A system with AI agents can be built with different architectural approaches.
Single Agent: Agents can serve as personal assistants.
Multi-Agent: Agents can interact with each other in collaborative or competitive ways.
Human Machine: Agents can interact with humans to execute tasks more efficiently.

Git vs GitHub
Git and GitHub are popular tools for version control. They work together and complement each other to provide effective source control management.
On a high level, Git is focused on version control and code sharing, whereas GitHub is focused on centralized source code hosting for sharing with other developers.
However, they have some key differences
Git is a free, open-source version control tool. GitHub is a cloud-based, pay-for-use service that runs Git in the cloud.
Git is installed locally on a developer’s machine. GitHub is hosted in the cloud.
The Linux Foundation maintains Git. Microsoft owns GitHub.
Git can manage different versions of edits, made to files in a git repository. GitHub is a space to upload a copy of the Git repository.
Git supports version control and source code management. GitHub can be used for hosting code, collaboration, and project management.
Git has minimal external tool configuration. GitHub provides an active marketplace for tool integration.
Lastly, you can use Git without GitHub but you cannot use GitHub without Git.
Over to you: What else will you add to distinguish between Git and GitHub?A Cheatsheet on Database Performance
Good database performance is critical since it directly impacts user experience, operational costs, and scalability.
But what impacts database performance?
Evaluating database performance depends on key metrics such as query execution time, throughput, latency, and resource utilization.
Workload Types such as write-heavy, read-heavy, delete-heavy, and competing workloads pose unique challenges.Other factors that impact performance are item size, item type, dataset size, concurrency expectations, consistency requirements, HA expectations, and geographic distribution.
Multiple strategies exist to improve database performance. Some of the most important ones are as follows:Database Indexing
Indexes are important for speeding up database queries by reducing the amount of data scanned. Also, choosing the right index type is crucial.Sharding and Partitioning
Divide the data into smaller, more manageable chunks known as shards. Each shard is also stored on a different server.Denormalization
Denormalization combines data into fewer tables to reduce the overhead of joins, improving read performance.Database Replication
Replication involves maintaining multiple copies of the same database, typically with a primary node for writes (and critical reads) and secondary nodes for most read operations.Database Locking Techniques
Use locking techniques like pessimistic and optimistic locking to manage concurrency levels and resource contention.
