After centuries of population growth, humanity is now entering an unprecedented era of decline. From East Asia to Europe, birth rates have plummeted far below replacement levels, with profound implications for economies, societies and geopolitics.

In this thought-provoking lecture, renowned demographer Nicholas Eberstadt explores our coming depopulating future. While sub-replacement fertility introduces serious challenges, Eberstadt argues that prosperity remains possible through human innovation, open economies, and competitive immigration policies. Join us as we examine how demographic transformation will reshape global power dynamics and our everyday lives in the decades ahead.

Nicholas Eberstadt is the Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute and a senior adviser to the National Bureau of Asian Research, with decades of experience studying global demographic, economic and security trends.
