Aging demographics may drive debt crises in coming decades, Kevin Bryan warns
Aging populations raise economic concerns

Kevin Bryan raised concerns about debt crises tied to rising old age support ratios, describing this as the most worrying economic problem over the next two decades. He highlighted current and projected percentages of populations aged 65 and older, noting Japan at 29% today and forecasting that by 2050, Korea could reach 40%, Japan 38%, Italy 34%, Spain 31%, the EU and China 30%, Germany and France 27%, and the U.S. 22%.

Bryan has previously commented on valuation trends in the tech sector, noting that Cohere reached a $36 billion valuation, putting Canadian taxpayer investment at twice the multiple of OpenAI and Ant here. He has also described Zoho as a Chennai-based, export-heavy services company with less advanced offerings but significantly lower pricing than its competitors here. These earlier observations reflect his ongoing focus on demographic and financial challenges across industries.
