Abstract |
Economic growth is no longer sufficient for the general progress of society. Global environment currently overrides the regional and, moreover, in relation to the narrow interests on obtaining short-term profit of the business environment. Sustainable development requires new constraints for all participants to economic activity and requires long term aiming measures. This paper aims to analyze the current demographic developments in the context of concerns for sustainable development. Currently, evaluations performed by the business environment on efficiency concern to an ever greater extent human health and environmental, aspects which have to be taken into account in order to ensure sustainable development. Knowledge of demographic trends is important for characterization of consumption and analysis of all phases of production. The two aspects, demographic and sustainable business enjoy a wide literature, but their relationship has not been widely debated. The link between sustainable business and demographic issues can be analyzed through the labor market. Therefore, our work captures demographic characteristics that influence the sustainable business model, in this respect taking into account aspects concerning labor productivity, education level and availability for innovation. |
