Welcome to The Inheritocracy with Eliza Filby #13

Falling birth rates in developed economies are no longer just a social or political issue, they’re a huge a corporate one. Combined with the greatest transfer of wealth in human history, we are entering an age of inheritocracy where it is what you inherit – not how hard you work – that makes for success.

In this episode, Marissa is joined by writer, speaker and consultant Eliza Filby to explore the demographic disruptions of an ageing workforce and wealth transference that will shape the world of work in 2050.

• If the sizes and ages of our populations shape our economies, how will employers have to respond to the reduced workforces of 2050?
• Will unequal responsibility for elder care see women lose the gains they’ve won in equal childcare?
• The Great Inheritance will further reduce our workforces as money becomes less of a motivator to work.
• Working for the Bank of Mom and Dad: will it make more sense in 2050 to invest your loyalty in your parents not your employer?
