Why America’s Population Is Suddenly Shrinking

What happens when America stops growing? In this episode of Business Explains the World, Hanna looks at a crisis the U.S. long thought it had avoided: demographic decline. She explores why Americans are having fewer kids, how immigration kept the country growing for decades, and why that safety net may be weakening. A shrinking future could have devastating impacts on retirement, housing, healthcare, and the American economy.
