Global Aging and Future of Emerging Markets

Global Aging and Future of Emerging Markets

            As the world economies grow an inch further as time progresses by, the rich and developed parts continue to be looked upon. They are considered the leaders of the global economies. As such, their actions have a critical impact on the developing side.

For many years, this has been the working theory regarding the future. The developing world has been disregarded for a while with not much being considered to come from it. However, recent researches indicate that the developing world has not been dormant as it had been perceived earlier (Jackson, Richard, Neil, and Keisuke 11).

The developing world continues to hold on its own. As the developed world continues to lead the pace, the developing is also working on catching up. This is according to the latest report from the Global Aging and the Future of Emerging Markets. The report sought to carry out investigations on the expected impacts caused by the shifting demographics in the economies.

There have been numerous revolutions over the centuries. The revolutions critically impacted the universe. One thing that remains notable amid these revolutions is the fact that changing demographics affected them. This could be seen through invasions, political changes, migrations and also natural factors.

As such, it is no coincidence that the future of the universe is subject to geographical shifts. In this case, as the world ages, there will be a significant impact on economic growth and living standards. The changes are felt differently in developed and developing nations. This is because the populational shifts are different for these regions (Jackson, Richard, Neil, and Keisuke 15). Developed countries face a continues to drop in population, thus undermining their global security. Emerging markets are equally affected due to lack of human resources.

The developing world is, however, faced with destabilizing demographics. At the same time, there are many emerging markets in the regions. There is a significant advantage of having an increase in population size. However, this is not enough. Stability is the cornerstone for economic development. There has to be economical and political stability, among other factors for continuity in terms of growth. Therefore, as the globe ages, the future of emerging markets is at jeopardy.

The primary areas of focus were emerging markets that are subject to social and political stability. The report also focused on the central developing regions such as Russia, China, India and Latin America. The report is also based on the assumption that all relevant factors will be constant and stable to allow room for emerging markets.

As such, in a probable instance, the economic significance of emerging markets is expected to continue growing. This is because emerging markets equally share a universal GDP and a universal market capitalization. It is to be noted that the above scenario is to be expected only when there are favourable conditions.

In this context, there may be probable risks, to begin with. The success of the developing world is subject to stability. As various demographics continue to transition at the same time, bringing about development, an atmosphere of working towards a common agenda must be enhanced. This means a push for a common peace.

As such, in case this form of unity lacks in the developing world, the future of emerging markets will be equally flawed. A successful transition can only be achieved whereby the developing world is keen on working towards a common goal (Jackson, Richard, Neil, and Keisuke 17).
