How Aging Populations Are Reshaping The Tax Base
When populations age, the economic burden shifts from growth to maintenance. This episode examines how Japan and Italy are managing this transition by raising consumption taxes rather than cutting benefits, creating a unique pressure on domestic demand. We look at why shrinking workforces make tax policy the primary lever for social stability, and what it means for global investors watching these demographic tides turn.
