Global Demographics Behind the Headlines


Listen Later

Please join us as Dr. Adele Hayutin takes us on a world tour of population change and its dramatic consequences.

Her talk will offer many surprises and insights, such as

  • China’s dramatic demographic plunge
  • Africa’s population explosion
  • Where declining birth rates lead to shrinking workforces
  • Where aging populations strain economic wellbeing
  • Why immigration is key to ensuring continued economic growth
  • How increasing women’s participation in the workforce will be critical globally
  • Drawing on her recent book, New Landscapes of Population Change: A Demographic World Tour, Dr. Hayutin will explore the divergent changes ahead for the world, its subregions, and individual countries, and she will demonstrate the urgent need for strategies that address these momentous shifts. She will examine global population dynamics and illuminate how these forces will combine over the next few decades in ways that threaten economic security and political stability, offering us a window on the future.
