November Speaker: Dr Paul Spoonley
A New Demography is Reshaping Societies
What does this look like? And what does it mean?
Professor Emeritus Paul Spoonley is one of New Zealand's leading social scientists with an extensive background in research on social and demographic change.
Paul is the author or editor of 29 books, including a biography of Ranginui Walker and “The “New” New Zealand: Facing Demographic Disruption”.
Paul will talk about the way in which declining fertility, rapid (super) ageing and the concentration of populations in large cities is changing the shape of societies, especially high income societies (including New Zealand). Are there any countries that are doing better than others in responding to this new demography? What can we learn from them in New Zealand?
