Thank you!
Resources on themes from the presentation:
Demographics as Destiny
Key concepts:
Demographics; Population Pyramid;
Demographic Transition Model (6 min video); Demographic Dividend (Video)
Cool Tool: Population Pyramid Generator (Looks like a newer site is up here!)
Next Level of Learning:
Demographics + Value Systems
WFS Value Survey has a great framework around the Inglehart-Welzel Cultural Map (comparing secular vs traditional memes)
If you want to go down a deeper rabbit hole (which I recommend) learn about Spiral Dynamics Integral. There is no single resource on Spiral Dynamics that I can refer to with great confidence. It’s a complicated model but when understood provides tremendous insights into how people and societies pass through development stages.
