Demographics and technology: A new frontier of investment opportunities

Demographics and technology

A new frontier of investment opportunities at the crossroads of population change and technological innovation.

Ageing economies face a stark choice: do nothing and decline or transform and continue to grow. Automation and AI can go a long way to counterbalance the shrinkage of the labour force, and the timing of their evolution is opportune. Governments and companies thus have a viable path to growth going forward.

The results suggest that some of the best investment opportunities may well be found in sectors that combine three key ingredients: being conducive to AI, catering to the ageing population and operating in economies with sufficient technology-enabling infrastructure.

What could this mean for investing?

The study focuses on examining the interplay of demographics and technology with the aim of identifying the potential growth drivers and investment opportunities of the future.
