Summary Suggestions for Revision
- Add a table of contents and consistent subheadings to support organization in the final draft.
- Eliminate redundant phrasing, especially where key ideas (e.g., retirement trends) are repeated.
- Improve citation integration—introduce and analyze sources rather than just citing them.
- Break up long paragraphs and use shorter sentences for emphasis and better readability.
- Consider expanding the solutions section slightly—what actionable policies or partnerships can support recruitment or training capacity?
