We consider how globalization has affected demographic trends and how demographic trends have affected globalization. We focus on developments over the last 200 years and emphasize “economic globalization”—the integration of product, capital, and labor markets and the rapid diffusion of technology and information across borders. We begin by relating a brief history of economic globalization since 1850 and then identify demographic trends that may have significant effects on economic globalization. We consider how globalization has affected demographic trends and then discuss how demographic trends have affected globalization. We conclude by reflecting on how our analysis is affected by the increased pace of globalization over the last 40 years.
