Episode notes
The world's population did increase, but the underlying trend is downwards. We're then going to become a much older planet with people in need of care. In the UK right now, there are around 900,000 people aged exactly 50. But that ratio will drop by 22% within 20 years as more retirements take place. The money we pay towards pension systems in most countries today goes to paying for current retirees. So this is just an idea of the changes that we're not looking at yet.
