CC: The World Is Shrinking: Population Decline & Change

As birth rates drop and life expectancy rises, the world is quietly entering a new demographic era—yet the conversation hasn’t caught up. In this session, we’ll explore the far-reaching implications of shrinking populations on healthcare, pensions, education, and the labor market.

We’ll ask:
– Why is this shift still largely missing from public discourse?
– What does it mean for our societies, economies, and ways of life?- How can we adapt—and even innovate—in response?

With Victor´s facilitation , we’ll surface diverse perspectives, uncover blind spots, and imagine actionable pathways forward. This is an invitation to move from awareness to adaptation—and to begin co-creating a future shaped by demographic change, gender equity, and intergenerational opportunity
