Demographic "Doomsday" Misses the Mark

A study published in the journal Science found that the concept of a 'demographic doomsday' - where a country's population ages and shrinks, leading to economic and social problems - may not be as dire as previously thought. Researchers analyzed data from 36 countries and found that while population aging and low fertility rates are issues, they are not necessarily linked to economic decline. In fact, some countries with aging populations have maintained economic stability and even experienced growth.
