Interview | How reliable are population forecasts?
„Senator Geisel said [...] that in Berlin he no longer has to concentrate on aging processes but on growth. In my eyes, that's a fateful statement. I hope he didn't mean it as he did. Because I can point out a completely different forecast, namely that in about 15 years, in 2030, we will have twice as many people over 65 and three times as many people over 85. We get a massive, an alarming one Increase in the number of older and dependent Berliners. This is a very safe development, not a forecast, because these people already live in Berlin and will not move away anymore. [...] Short-term developments over five or ten years can be predicted well. Everything else is coffee grounds reading.“ The whole post (as PDF-document): 'rbb'-Coffee-grounds-20150708.pdf |
