Germany and Ecuador: a demographic tale of two worlds. Germany ages gracefully at 45.7 median years — but shrinks without migration's lifeline. Ecuador stays young at 29.7, yet its talent keeps leaving. #demography #populationstudies #spatialscienses #universityofgroningen #worldcup

It’s a common misconception that life expectancy has increased only because fewer children die. Historical mortality records show that adults today also live much longer than adults in the past.
