The Elephant in the Room - a conversation with demographer Paul Morland

In our preoccupation with climate catastrophe, we forget to talk about another ticking time bomb: the demography of the UK, specifically, that we're a comparatively old country. Just like climate change, this is not a crisis that we can outrun or sidestep by hope alone. Instead, we need to grapple with the facts -- and choices -- now, if we want to preserve our current standard of living through the generations. Paul Morland, arguably Britain's top demographer, walked us through the dilemmas, challenges, politics and solutions.
