Author Reading | Milton Ezrati discusses his book Thirty Tomorrows: The Next Three Decades of Globalization, Demographics, and How We Live
Over the next three decades, aging populations in the United States, Europe and Japan will begin to threaten our way of life. The ever-increasing pool of retirees will burden relatively diminished workforces, slowing the pace of growth and straining public and private finances. In stark contrast, emerging economies will enjoy the benefits of large, youthful and eager workforces. These differences will set the tone for decades to come. But contrary to much of the media’s downbeat treatment of the issue, we can survive, even prosper.
