Debate: How Demographics May Affect Future Interest Rate and Debt Levels
Featuring: James Meyers, CFA, Principal and Portfolio Strategist for Prudential Group Investment Management (PGIM) Fixed-Income.
We discuss how shifting demographics (i.e. America is getting older!) will affect pretty much everything in our economy inclusive of productivity, tax rates, debt levels and interest rates. When a population ages, you simply have fewer people relative to the population able to participate in the workforce which puts pressure on all of society. Will innovation and further general advancements in technology allow us to mitigate these risks or are we heading into a lower-growth, more expensive environment?
Topics include:
- How aging demographics affected other developed countries, notably Japan
- How a shift in demographics affects tax, consumer spend and government assistance
- Mitigating age through productivity and immigration
