Lately, Jesús Fernández-Villaverde has been looking in detail at the accelerating pace of global demographic changes. He wrote three essays, originally published in Spanish the El Confidencial newspaper, that have been adapted for a English-speaking audience..
- The Demographic Future of Humanity: The Trends (Part I) [link]
- The Demographic Future of Humanity: Economic Challenges (Part II) [link]
- The Demographic Future of Humanity: Social Change (Part III) [link]
According to Jesús, these unfolding changes intersect with important areas of Catholic faith and social teaching such as family, children, and migration. He recognizes that these essays are more like educated guesses than tight predictions and he is eager to hear your feedback. You can reach him at jesusfv@upenn.edu.
