The Demographic Decline: An Economic Emergency

“What does an economy and a society look like when the population is declining? Is this drop in births inevitable? And should we be worried about it?

Contrary to doomsday narratives, Pauline Rossi delivers a scientific analysis of the origins and consequences of demographic decline. The falling birth rate and the aging population are the results of a global movement toward greater economic prosperity and social justice. Though a sign of progress, these demographic dynamics have become a source of anxiety.
Much like the energy and technological transitions, the demographic transition compels us to reinvent our economic and social organization to ensure more sustainable progress.”
