Capitalizing on "The Diversity Shift" at Bluestar Ventures Diversity is the mixture of differences and similarities
Diversity is quickly changing the way we live, work and play. The shift in the diversity demographics in the United States and globally is occurring naturally and in multiple dimensions. Americans are more racially and ethnically diverse than in the past, and the United States is projected to be even more diverse in the coming decades. This change is occurring now and it is expected to become more prevalent over the next 25 years.
By 2055, the United States will not have a single racial or ethnic majority.
Gender diversity has already shifted to women making up 50.8% of the U.S. population and they account for 47% of the current U.S. labor force.
The age dimension is also changing quickly and naturally. Millennials are projected to make up 75% of the Global Workforce by 2025 and today they are the largest share of the U.S. Workforce.
Buying Power: $4.3 trillion, of the $5.9 trillion, in United States Consumer Spending is controlled by women.
These are just a few of the diverse and multi-dimensional mixture of people that will challenge and influence the traditional thinking and behaviors of our organizations, communities and customers. This new and diverse population will expect and demand that their experiences, perspectives and talents shape the future workplace, marketplace, and social cultures.
