Oct 29th @9:45AM in Clark’s Cabin: JIM SHERIDAN on Our Aging World -How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World

For decades, the world’s dominant powers have benefited from large working-age populations that help drive economic growth.

Meanwhile, particularly young populations in much of the developing world mean limited resources are diverted to raising children, curbing economic opportunity.

But the world’s demographic sweet spots are changing, and fast.

At the same time as many countries have increasingly aging populations , many low-income countries today will have huge prime-age labor forces for the first time. Can they take advantage of the opportunity?

The world’s demographics have already been transformed. Europe is shrinking. China is shrinking, with India, a much younger country, overtaking it this year as the world’s most populous nation.

But what we’ve seen so far is just the beginning.

How a Vast Demographic Shift Will Reshape the World

Adult Discussion Group will be meeting in person @ 9:45AM in Thoreau’s Clark Cabin except on the third Sunday of each month when we will meet in the Sanctuary @ 11AM.

Masks are now optional. The AC and HEPA filter will be running to keep Clark Cabin & the Sanctuary as safe as possible.

For those that prefer: We will provide ZOOM via the OWL system when we meet in the cabin & our Moderator Tamara will recognize your hand up and add you to the queue.

Thoreauvians and friends will be notified each week (tuucannounce@groups.io) of our ADG topic, time and zoom login.
Please keep an eye out for our notices.
