George Friedman, whose work I often cite, looks today at what is happening to populations in the developed world and notes the falling birth rates in nearly every country. This isn't news, we've noted it before.
He also notes another factor of interest that few are attending to, the fact that we are living longer than we formerly did. He believes this will force us to rethink how we deliver medical services and hints that in future people will work more years than at present.
Honestly, he is mostly noting trends and problems. He proposes darned few solutions beyond the suggestion that migrants from the third world will fill the vacancies created by less-than-replacement birth rates.
