Lunch and Learn: Vermont’s Demographic Transformation: Causes & Consequences
November 16, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm
Vermont’s 21st century demographic experience is, and will continue to be, very different from population changes the state experienced in the last half of the 20th century. Vermont is now one of the oldest states in the nation; it has one of the lowest birth rates in the country; and its labor force is lower today than it was fifteen years ago. Economist & UVM Professor Emeritus Arthur Woolf looks at the causes and consequences of Vermont’s demographic transformation.
