The great forces of population change—the balance of births, deaths and migrations—have made the world what it is today. They have determined which countries are superpowers and which languish in relative obscurity, which economies top the international league tables and which are at best also-rans. The same forces that have shaped our past and present are shaping our future. Illustrating this through 10 illuminating indicators, from the fertility rate in Singapore (one) to the median age in Catalonia (43), Paul Morland shows how demography is both a powerful and an under-appreciated lens through which to view the global transformations that are currently underway. Tomorrow's People provides a fascinating, illuminating and thought-provoking tour of an emerging new world.
