Which type of unemployment is most likely affected by changes in workforce demographics, such as an aging population?

The type of unemployment most affected by changes in workforce demographics, such as an aging population, is structural unemployment. This happens when the skills of workers do not match the jobs available in the economy. As the population ages, older workers may retire, and there may be fewer younger workers entering the workforce with the necessary skills for new jobs, especially in technology. For example, if a factory needs workers who understand advanced machinery, but the older employees do not have those skills and younger workers are not trained, the factory might struggle to fill positions. This mismatch can lead to higher structural unemployment as companies find it hard to hire the right people.
