World to Face Deficit of Production & Cities in Africa Due to Demographic Imbalances

The 21st century's trajectory hinges on how the world adapts to shifting population demographics, Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration, told Russian media.

The rapid global population growth of the past century is ending, with former drivers like China no longer contributing as significantly, he said.

"In 50 years, the world will face, for example, a demographic imbalance in China towards older people, and in Africa, a huge number of young, active, working-age people," Oreshkin stated.
