According to the poll conducted by the Malvern, Penn.-based Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters Society late last year, a total of 66 percent of the 181 members surveyed expressed concern about the readiness of their industry to deal with the upcoming wave of baby boomer retirees.
Combined with the projected shortfall in the number of new entrants with the necessary technical and subject skills, the survey participants foresee an “experience gap” very likely to form if nothing is done.
