Darrell Bricker, Global CEO of Public Affairs for Ipsos and co-author of ‘Empty Planet’, says the global population is going to shrink, not grow, and policymakers around the world have to rethink their growth strategies. On the latest Huddle "Insights" podcast, Don Mills talks with Bricker about what that means for a region that has experienced slow growth in terms of population and GDP for more than a decade.
This podcast combines the experiences of an economist, David Campbell and a social scientist, Don Mills, to explore the challenges and opportunities facing Atlantic Canada, to promote data-driven decision making among policymakers and to encourage a wider dialogue and debate leading to greater prosperity for the region. Expect to hear interviews with the top influencers, business leaders and decision-makers across Atlantic Canada to inform, educate and expand the conversations on the key issues facing the region.
