World population just reached 8 billion, but behind that singular number lies a greater diversity in global demographic trends than ever before. In her talk, Dr. Jennifer Sciubba will describe how a handful of countries remain trapped with high fertility and mortality, leading to tremendous challenges for peace and prosperity in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, the majority of countries--including the US and its peers--are converging towards aging and shrinking populations. This unprecedented shift is fundamentally reshaping political,
economic, and social relationships, both in the US and abroad.
