In this podcast [16 min.], Insightview has interviewed Katja Mann, assistant professor at Copenhagen Business School. We discuss the impact of demographic headwinds hitting the shores of EU member states. Katja Mann is a macroeconomist working on long-run topics, such as automation technology and the future of work, demographic ageing with implications for pension systems, global capital flows, and inequality.
‌
‌Insightview asks Katja whether Europe faces a "demographic hurricane"? We discuss the implications of demographic headwinds regarding inflation, wage increases, the welfare system, the pension system - and the future mismatch between the demand and supply sides in the coming decades. Insightview also asks Katja how politicians should solve what looks like a secular problem.
‌
Katja Mann shares this website's assessment that, everything else being equal, demographics place European workers in a better wage bargaining position than a decade ago. On the other hand, she is more optimistic than Insightview.eu when it comes to solving demographic problems in the future. Read the intro article here
