TARKAN - Bam Teli

The dip in global population is something that's been gaining attention as of late, but mostly in the abstract. 

Something concrete in that dip is about to come due this fall, a staggering drop in the number of available 18+ year olds for the traditional college path. The first bellwether in what my guest for this episode labeled in a piece that, <a href="https://hechingerreport.org/the-impact-of-this-is-economic-decline/">America is about to go over the ‘demographic cliff’</a>.

Journalist <a href="https://hechingerreport.org/author/jon-marcus/">Jon Marcus</a>, joins for this episode to explore the intersection of demographic shifts, higher education, and the implications for the workforce. The conversation highlights the decline in birth rates, the resulting impact on college enrollment, and the broader economic consequences of college closures. 

We also get into the cultural perceptions of the value of a college degree and the challenges faced by institutions in adapting to these changes. Before ending on potential strategies for colleges to navigate the impending demographic cliff and its effects on education and the economy.
