With ageing populations, falling birth rates and fewer workers to pay tax, the author calls for bold experiments to cope with the dizzying changes already upon us

The word “demography” triggers a glaze-over mechanism in the minds of all too many of us. Yes, populations are ageing, there are ever smaller cohorts of women of childbearing age and less children today mean less workers and taxpayers tomorrow. But surely the world is overpopulated, and the issue of world population decline is a problem for the future? No, no, no says demographer Paul Morland. It was a problem for the future but now it has arrived, and we had better wake up and deal with it.

This hard-right Romanian is partial to the “great replacement” theory which believes that sinister liberal elites are trying to replace native Europeans with Africans, Asians and others. When asked what his solution was to yawning labour shortages it was clear that, like many a populist, he was clueless. He did not know the difference between a country’s fertility rate and the number of babies being born.
