Be ready for ‘next.’

The future isn’t waiting, and neither should you.

Population Next is the essential podcast and newsletter for forward-thinking business leaders, policymakers, and innovators who want to stay ahead of the world’s most overlooked but seismic shift: demographic change.

Hosted and written by Bradley Schurman, author of The Super Age, founder of Human Change, and a global expert on population dynamics, Population Next helps you make sense of a world where there are fewer young people, more older adults, and greater migration, and where the old rules no longer apply.
