  • The world's demographics are changing.

  • Across all countries, and particularly developed markets, populations are getting old.

  • So what will global aging mean for our economic future?

  • I'm Alison Nathan, and this is Goldman Sachs Exchanges.

  • Today, I'm sitting down with my colleague, Kevin Daly,

  • co-head of the economics team covering Central and Eastern Europe,

  • the Middle East, and Africa within global macro research.

  • Kevin, welcome back to Exchanges.

  • Thank you very much, Alison.

  • Good to see you.

  • So, Kevin, you've done a lot of work around your Path to 2075 series,

  • looking at what the global economy could look like in 50 years from now.

  • And you recently released a report about global aging.

  • It's no secret that the global population is aging.

  • But first, give us the facts behind that.

  • What measure do you look at to determine this?

  • And what does it show?

  • I mean, Alison, however you measure it, the global population is aging.

  • If you look at median ages in developed economies, 50 years ago, the median age was 30.

  • Now it's 43.
