Demographics: The market impact to 2030

Podzept from Deutsche Bank Research

Luke Templeman and Olga Cotaga discuss the implications of ageing populations on economies, financial markets and corporate balance sheets. The thematic research analysts rebuke common misconceptions that more retirees equals to government budgets blowing out, or that there could be an equity sell-off as baby boomers switch to bonds. On top of this, they discuss why some Western countries have an underappreciated demographic advantage and why short-term ageing concerns in China may be overdone.
