Demographics Unravelled: How Demographics Affect and Influence Every Aspect of Economics, Finance and Policy

Discover what demographics can tell us about the economy, markets, and the future

In Demographics Unravelled, renowned Macro-Demographics expert Amlan Roy delivers an insightful and timely exploration of the impact that ＂people characteristics＂ have on national economies. Considering factors like gender, race, migrant status, family background, and education, the author delves deeply into a subject that drives market behavior and economic variables, including growth, debt, inflation, employment, and productivity. These have national and international policy implications.

In this one-of-a-kind book, you’ll discover:

• Why the study of demographics is the hidden key to understanding economic growth, asset prices, and capital flows
• How to use detailed demographics to forecast future scenarios in economics, socioeconomics, geopolitics, and the environment
