The Economic Impact of Declining Fertility Rates
In our latest podcast, we explore the global decline in fertility rates and the aging population, delving into their profound implications for economic growth, inflation, expected returns, and asset allocation.
The Global Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has dropped significantly over the past 70 years—from approximately five children per woman in 1950 to just 2.2 in 2021. Alarmingly, more than half of all countries and territories (110 out of 204) now fall below the population replacement level of 2.1 births per woman (source: healthdata.org). We therefore discuss the implications of the declining TFR on global economies and societies, and highlight the investment opportunities we foresee would be worth looking into.
