Pittsburgh native Bradley Schurman returns home to discuss his new book, THE SUPER AGE: DECODING OUR DEMOGRAPHIC DESTINY

Societies all over the world are getting older, the result of the fact that we are living longer and having fewer children. At some point in the near future, much of the developed world will have at least twenty percent of their national populations over the age of sixty-five. Bradley Schurman calls this the Super Age. Today, Italy, Japan, and Germany have already reached the Super Age, and another ten countries will have gone over the tipping point in 2021. Thirty-five countries will be part of this club by the end of the decade. This seismic shift in the world population can portend a period of tremendous growth—or leave swaths of us behind. If we aren’t prepared for the changes to come, we face economic stagnation, increased isolation of at-risk populations, and accelerated decline of rural communities. Instead, we can plan now to harness the benefits of the Super Age: extended and healthier lives, more generational cooperation at work and home, and new markets and products to explore. The choice is ours to make.<a href="https://shop.riverstonebookstore.com/310-bradley-schurman" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Purchase The Super Age: Decoding our Demographic Destiny now</a>**This event will be livestreamed on Zoom if you are unable to attend in person.
