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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. Bust 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book shines a penetrating light on one of the most ominous – and least understood – economic and social challenges of the 21st century. No-one who reads it will look upon public policy or the future of our society in the same way again.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003ePaul Morland\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the world's leading demographers.
