The Great Population Reversal
A panoramic view of the impact of demographic changes on the global economy
A valuable guide to policymaking in the post-COVID-19 era
Synopsis
The author believes that the low inflation and even deflation in the past three decades are mainly due to the world demographic dividend and the globalization dividend. However, the superposition of population aging and anti-globalization will reverse the previous trend and bring about a series of changes, including high inflation and interest rates, the difficulties faced by highly indebted economies, shrinking inequality, populism, debt financing, etc. Unlike most of today's writings on population, it goes beyond a local perspective that focuses only on a region and country, and examines the consequences and effects of demographic changes from a global perspective, so that it can see the whole picture of the problem and propose effective countermeasures.
