Richard Jackson, Director and Senior Fellow, CSIS Global Aging Initiative, regards the study of population as a vital analytical perspective to deepen our understanding of the present and future state of world economics, politics, and culture.Demographics shapes potentially virtually every dimension of public and private life. Other factors that matter to the human society, such as technology, environment, and religion, loop their feedback to demography. He thinks that any long-term future scan really needs to begin with fundamental human input and to look at those underlying demographic trends.
