Fewer trains, closed cafes are inevitable given lack of workers

Description

A four-day school week, fewer trains, and shorter shop opening hours will increasingly become a reality in the coming years because the working population is shrinking, the Telegraaf said on Tuesday.

In the next five years 2.2 million additional jobs will need to be filled, 90% of which is down to people retiring, becoming unable to work through ill health, or changing careers, according to new figures from Maastricht University.
