Meet the Author of "Demographics Unravelled: How Demographics Affect and Influence Every Aspect of Economics, Finance and Policy" Dr Amlan Roy at Hall 3, by the Executive Lounge!
In Demographics Unravelled, renowned Macro-Demographics expert Amlan Roy delivers an insightful and timely exploration of the impact that "people characteristics" have on national economies. Considering factors like gender, race, migrant status, family background, and education, the author delves deeply into a subject that drives market behavior and economic variables, including growth, debt, inflation, employment, and productivity. These have national and international policy implications.
In this one-of-a-kind book, you’ll discover:
- Why the study of demographics is the hidden key to understanding economic growth, asset prices, and capital flows
- How to use detailed demographics to forecast future scenarios in economics, socioeconomics, geopolitics, and the environment
- The short-, medium-, and long-term effects of consumer and worker behavior
- How understanding demographics is key to understanding health, pensions, migration, sustainability and social policies. It is intimately linked to the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN―Gender, Climate, Poverty and Inequality
Perfect for institutional investors, insurance professionals, economists, and business leaders, Demographics Unravelled will also earn a place in the libraries of academics and students studying a variety of economic disciplines and seeking a one-stop and in-depth discussion of demographics-driven macroeconomic effects.

Retirement and insurance issues challenge all the developed and developing economies of the world. Living longer and in good health was expected to be a blessing but unanticipated costs and inefficiencies in delivering retirement promises have led to huge challenges whose effects transmit across all of the world population and all generations from babies to centenarians.
Aside from economic and social policy changes, technology is the main disruptor to create better retirement and insurance outcomes. Big Data, AI, Web3.0, Digital Identity and Platforms can combine to deliver better investment incomes, cost efficiencies, longevity estimates alongside ESG and climate transition strategies. Final outcome: better incomes, better health, better gender and income equality, better climate and biodiversity.
Without new technology and FinTech, the slow and often unclear politics driven policy changes in other areas are unlikely to solve the Retirement and Insurance crises. We need newer insurance products and solutions for the complex uncertain macro geopolitical world of now and the future. Let’s encourage holistic changes where Technology and FinTech are at the core as game-changers for society and the world.
