After 75 years of industrialization and urbanization, the demographic structure of the world has fundamentally changed such that in most of the advanced world, there are now more people in their sixties than in their fifties, forties, thirties, twenties, or teens, creating a top-heavy demographic full of people on the verge of retirement with insufficient young people to sell to, breaking the consumer-led growth model that globalization depends on.
