Why should Russians have children? We're facing a demographic disaster! | Alexey Raksha
This episode is about the current demographic situation in Russia and the world.
Want to understand how the population size and age are changing, why the birth rate is declining, the population is aging, the role of migration is increasing, and what economic and social consequences this is creating?
Then this episode is for you! Today's guest is demographer Alexey Raksha*.
We examine trends and consequences: why underpopulation is a real problem, how aging and migration are changing the economy, which measures are working, and which create the illusion of control.
In this episode, we discuss:
— How is the problem of underpopulation hindering Russia's development?
— The age trap we've already fallen into
— Increased male mortality and its hidden consequences
— Population aging as a global megatrend
— Which measures are really working to increase the birth rate
— Why poor countries continue to grow rapidly
— Is Europe dying out, and why does Germany need migration
— Demographic inequality and ostentatious wealth
