Ep.59: Special Release - A Global Demographics Deep-Dive - Dr. Clint Laurent - Founder/Managing Director - Global Demographics Ltd.

Global Demographics’ online database and apps provide forecasts of the demographic profile of 117 countries, 31 Provinces, and 625 cities in China. The forecasts from 2021 to 2045 (with historic data from 2005) include the basic demographic profile (age, by gender), births, deaths, migration, households, labor force, household income distribution, and expenditure patterns.

The Company was formed in 1997 (as Asian Demographics Ltd) and has been building its databases, forecast models, and reports since then – originally for countries in Asia and then, as a result of client demand, for countries throughout the world. After 25 years of development, the coverage is now 117 countries and also China and India (each being around 20% of the world’s population) by sub-regions (in the case of China down to all 2,852 counties)
