Episode notes

This episode of Grimshaw Speakers was made in collaboration with the CIVICA think tank's inter-school podcast series 'Voices of CIVICA'. In this episode of our Speaker Series, Dr Joan Costa-Font, Professor of Health Economics at the LSE, discusses economic and political implications of Europe's ageing demographic. He challenges listeners to rethink ageing as something positive–a signal that populations are ageing healthier–while also exploring the tensions between ageing populations and the need for immigration amidst a rise in far-right populism.
