A dwindling global population and what it could mean for economic growth

This seminar was given by Professor Lawrence H. Summers, Director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government (M-RCBG), Charles W. Eliot University Professor, and President Emeritus at Harvard University and Camilla Cavendish is a Research Fellow at M-RCBG.
With more people on the planet aged over 65 than under 5 for the first time in history, this seminar will examine the implications of the latest UN population forecasts for economies and societies, in places ranging from the U.S. and Europe to China and India. It will consider alternative demographic scenarios, including the possibility that we are entering a world with far more only children.
This seminar was given on Monday, September 12, 2022.

    We must get past the idea of economic growth, because we have reached the point at which growth is utterly unsustainable. It is a blessing that population is dwindling--let it continue.

    Alas not fast enough. Less people - less leeway to abuse the population by the Xi's and Putin's of the world.

    You lack imagination. The future of the world bears no relation to your narrow, small minded paranoia.
