Jack Goldstone Discusses Future Demographic Trends: The Old, the Young, and the Urban
March 8, 2013 By Carolyn Lamere
In this podcast, Jack Goldstone of George Mason University discusses the world’s demographic stresses in the coming years. In parallel to a growing trend of population aging in developed countries, much of the world will remain young, growing, and urbanizing, he said. The choices these growing countries make over the next few decades will have reverberating effects for the rest of the world, from conflict potential to the spread of stable democracies.
