Cristina Casabón — More people live inside this circle than outside it - and other demographic data you should know

With the progressive integration of China, India and other large developing countries into the world economy, hundreds of millions will compete in the global market to reach higher living standards. Global structures of production, trade, employment and wages will change with the relocation of people, enterprises, capital flows and financial globalisation.

The consequences of global population changes will affect billions of people, and therefore, we will need to revise migration policies and implement new changes in their economic models. It's ok to raise concern about this challenge, but we never shouldn't underestimate our ability to innovate, solve problems and create ideas, as this is the only solution to confront our global challenges. The world grows and changes, and more brains thinking solutions and policies will be necessary.

Emerging challenges — and opportunities.
