詹妮弗·D·斯库巴: 人口下降的真相

人口下降的真相

随着出生率的下降，全球人口变得更少、更加老龄化。根据传统思维，这意味着未来将出现劳动力短缺，社会保障体系破产和整体经济崩溃。在你对这个人尽皆知的生命终结感到惊慌失措前，政治人口学家詹妮弗·D·修巴（Jennifer D. Sciubba）有一个深思熟虑的计划来管理新常态 —— 包括对未来工作和移民的想法—— 她同时提醒我们，一个富有韧性的未来依赖于今天的行动。

The planet’s population is no longer booming everywhere; in fact, fertility rates are dropping and societies are aging across the globe. By the end of this century, countries like China and South Korea could lose up to half their people if trends hold. This shift unlocks both risks and opportunities, challenging old economic models and inspiring new ways to value work, migration, and health. Choosing adaptability over fear can turn demographic decline into a more resilient, equitable world.
