Few have given serious thought to what this might mean economically. Will an ageing society and dwindling population be easily accommodated, or strike at the very heart of our prosperity?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Morland and Philip Pilkington argue that the consequences of the coming demographic upheaval will be economically devastating. All of the assumptions of economists – that a world of above-replacement birth rates and gentle annual population growth could be taken for granted – are being upended. Once, economics drove population changes, but now demography is the most fundamental force shaping our economic future. \u003cem\u003eBust\u003c\/em\u003e addresses everything from labour and capital markets to housing and the welfare state, showing the profoundly worrying consequences of a shrinking working-age population and an ageing society. Unless we take radical action to bolster birth rates, we face a future of falling living standards, high inflation and low growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book shines a penetrating light on one of the most ominous – and least understood – economic and social challenges of the twenty-first century.
