That will translate into reductions in labor supply, Duggar said. At the same time aging means that the household savings rates will go down, which will negatively impact on investment. Both trends put together would mean that aging will have a significant negative impact on global growth.
Business research group, the Conference Board - says aging could shave as much as one percent off global growth in the next 10 years. Ignoring the coming changes is risky says economist Fariborz Ghadar - author of Global Tectonics - What Every Business Needs to Know.
Economic growth rates will slow down, jobs will not be available for the young, there is going to be conflict both internally in certain countries, externally.
Therell be backlash against immigrants and thats not the kind of world we really want, said Ghadar.
But the solution may be as close as a nations borders.
See - the largest addition to the U.S. population is by immigration, it is not by number of children, said economics professor Kishore Kulkarni.
In the U.S. - the average birth rate is 1.9 children for every woman - an average bolstered by higher birth rates in immigrant families. Fariborz Ghadar says the trend is obvious when you consider that the birth rate for Hispanic families in the U.S. is 2.3 children.
We are turning Hispanic. And in fact, what I normally tell my audiences, if you want somebody to take care of you when youre 90 - you better speak Spanish, he said.
