Coles Africa Will Change the World: How Demography, Not Ideology, Will Define the 21st Century at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The 21st century will not be shaped by ideology, technology, or even climate.
It will be shaped by population.
In Africa Will Change the World , Adrian Leclerc presents a clear and unsettling argument: the future of the global economy, migration, labor, and power will be determined by one force above all others — Africa's demographic rise.
By 2100, Africa will account for the majority of global population growth. While Europe, China, and Japan age and shrink, Africa will become the world's youngest and fastest-growing region. Most new workers on Earth will come from one continent — and that shift will transform everything.
This is not a development story.
It is a structural realignment of the modern world.
Through sharp, data-driven analysis, this book explains:
• why Africa's population is growing at historic scale
• how urbanization is outpacing job creation
• what happens when youth populations surge without economic absorption
• why migration pressures are inevitable, not political
• how global labor markets and economic power will reorganize around African demographics
Leclerc avoids ideology and focuses on systems, incentives, and long-term consequences. The result is a clear-eyed look at the most important trend shaping the century.
If Africa stabilizes, it becomes the engine of global growth.
If it fails, the consequences will reach every continent.
This is not about charity.
This is about arithmetic.
And arithmetic cannot be negotiated.
