THE WORLD IS RUNNING OUT OF PEOPLE—AND IT'S WORSE THAN YOU THINK
Forget robots taking your job—soon there won’t be enough humans left to do them anyway.
Birth rates are crashing in rich countries like the US, Japan, and South Korea.
In 40 years, the global population will start shrinking, not growing.
That’s bad news for jobs, the economy, and anyone hoping to retire before age 90.
By 2100, the world could lose up to 2 billion people, with countries like Italy and China watching their workforces vanish.
Fewer babies means fewer workers, and fewer workers means less money, slower growth, and a whole lot of panic.
The “Great People Shortage” has already started.
From pilots to preschool teachers, companies can’t find enough staff. And when old people outnumber workers?
Good luck keeping the lights on.
