Structural-Demographic Theory (SDT)
A framework that analyzes how population dynamics, elite overproduction, and state fiscal health interact to drive cycles of political instability and social unrest, with implications for long-term economic and market trends.
Example
“Macro analysts applied Structural-Demographic Theory to argue that rising wealth inequality and an oversupply of educated workers competing for a shrinking pool of elite positions were fueling the social instability impacting markets.”
