Addressing food security in Africa, charges against the former president for January 6, and new U.S. population trends on age and race.
| America is an aging nation with a diverse younger population Recent U.S. population trends have led to a “racial generation gap” where the younger population is far more diverse than older age groups. In an analysis of new census data, demographer William Frey explores how this pattern is unfolding across America and discusses the impact on the country’s social fabric and politics. |
| Trump is indicted for Jan. 6 Among the many extraordinary features of Donald Trump’s presidency, the facts alleged in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s latest indictment are singularly defining. Scott Anderson and co-authors discuss the 45-page document, how the former president may respond, and reactions from Republican primary candidates. |
| Recurrent food crises underscore the need for food system transformation Last year, Africa grappled with the impacts of another global food price crisis—the third in the last 15 years. Structural challenges in agriculture and a growing dependence on imports will also impact future food security on the continent. To address these issues, African policymakers should focus on inclusive job creation, environmental sustainability, and nutrition in food production, Danielle Resnick argues. |
