Fertility rates are declining worldwide. Countries such as China and the UK have recently reported their lowest birth rates on record, raising concerns about a looming "population collapse," as termed by experts. But what does this mean for the world, particularly for the global economy? And what measures can be taken to future-proof societies against these challenges?
In this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann is joined by Jennifer Sciubba, President and CEO of the Population Reference Bureau; Jesús Fernández-Villaverde, Professor of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania; and Paul Cheung, Professor in Practice at Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, to discuss these pressing issues.
