Demographics

First article in a series in latest Economist:
A survey of ageing populations: : A slow-burning fuse | The Economist

Important pieces on future developments, not just in American, Europe and Japan, but also China (old before rich) and the emerging countries of the world.

The entire world will be getting older as live expectancy increases (better health) and fertility rates drop to below replacement rates.
