Episode notes
What happens when there are more retirees than workers supporting them? In this thoughtful and eye-opening episode, we explore the rapid aging of the world’s population and the massive pension crisis it is creating.
From inverting population pyramids and strained pay-as-you-go systems to real-world examples in Japan, Europe, China, and the United States, we unpack how this demographic shift is slowing economic growth, increasing public debt, and creating intergenerational tensions worldwide.
A calm, story-driven look at one of the greatest long-term threats to global economic stability — and what can still be done about it.
