East Erie Satellite: Global Demographic Trends and Population Policies
While many in Europe and the United States and laser-focused on immigration issues, more important issues are almost ignored. The rich, developed countries of the world share the same demographic trends of rapidly declining population, a growing elderly dependent population, and an alarming decline in fertility rates. What do these trends mean for the US, other rich countries, and the world? What are some of the remedies/policies some have tried and how successful have they been? Join JES-Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Baher Ghosheh as answers these questions and more.
