Demographics and Birth Rate

Italy debt to GDP. 150%. 33% paid for pension. UK debt to GDP 90%. 22% paid for pension. 30% of UK live beyond their means. Next bubble to burst? Politicians and journalists just don’t get it. They speculate on all other disasters but not money. Until it happens. Climate change drives everything? True or false it changes all our lives. Health, Diet, Bacteria. Terminal destruction if we do not take charge of our own health. Migration – needed, accepted. Just not near me. Houses – will people still want own homes in the next generation or stuff – life of simplicity? Taxation changes. Assets not income. Wealth tax expected. Desirability bias – seize on hope Confirmation bias – never expected but happens Impossible deniability
