Podcast Episode Summary
The world hit a milestone earlier this month as the total number of people now living on planet Earth reached 7 billion. At the same time, Baby Boomers this year began crossing the threshold of retirement age. We spoke to David Foot, professor of economics at the University of Toronto, about these demographic trends, what they mean for healthcare, and whether policymakers and drugmakers are paying enough attention to these trends to plan for the future. Please note there are brief moments during this interview where technical difficulties during this interview caused us to lose brief moments.
