Will Fewer Babies Break the Economy?

This episode is all about demographics - what they are, why they matter, and how they’re quietly reshaping our economies. Zoe from Tempo unpacks the global trend of falling birth rates, what that means for governments, and how it could impact the stock market in the long term. We explore why women are choosing to have fewer (or no) children, how countries are trying - and failing - to reverse that, and what it means for everything from immigration policy to investment opportunities. Think ageing populations, robotics, fertility healthcare, and yes… even adult nappies. We also answer a brilliant listener question on how to tell which headlines are worth paying attention to when you're investing.Members of The Curve Community can get a $10 boost to kickstart your investing journey with Tempo!
