Demographic Trends and the Global Economy

Effects of population decline When young people move to bigger towns and cities, the average age of the population in the place they leave behind automatically goes up. A community with a higher proportion of older inhabitants may be less attractive to businesses, which may additionally have difficulty finding suitable staff locally. Other effects of population decline include: • fewer schools, due to there being fewer children; • a drop in house prices because more homes are unoccupied; • fewer new homes being built; less demand for rented accommodation; • fewer care facilities; less turnover for shopkeepers and businesses; • fewer sports facilities; • fewer people going to the theatre, cinema or concerts, so these facilities are eventually cut back; • fewer people travelling by public transport, which thus costlier to run; local residents have to travel further to reach the facilities they want

Why have we not seen this inflation in European countries who are already here, like Spain?

[@supreme9905]

Data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) shows Spain’s annual inflation jumped to 6.7% at end of 2021, highest since 1989. They say the jump is especially reflected in food and electricity costs.

Wow I don't agree with those guys, and the last guys claim that more elderly ppl will bring more assets and lower interest rates is stretch to say the least. It is the 35-55 age cohort that saves the most, and it all happens on the margin (valuations). Elderly just happen to have the most assets because of their age and accumulation in previous years! Additionaly countering previous guys claims, working age pop (as percentage of total pop) shot up from 61.8 to 66.5 from 1970 - 1986 in US and it IS what supercharged inflation, spending of prime age (consumption wise) population (and ease in obtainability of credit - global monetary expansion). Saying inrease in labor force proved to be disinflationary is misguided. Debt sustainability prognosis is ofc correct (from decrease in tax revenue for gov)
