#Latvia 🇱🇻 is grappling with one of Europe’s most unusual demographic imbalances — a gap so wide that women outnumber men by more than 80,000. The divide stems from decades of migration patterns, health disparities, and population shifts that never fully rebounded after the post-Soviet transition. For years, young men have emigrated at higher rates, while significantly lower male life expectancy has further skewed the population. Together, these trends have created a demographic ratio that influences everything from dating culture to workforce stability and long-term economic planning. Now, the government must confront a shrinking labor force and a deepening gender gap that shows no sign of reversing. It’s a stark reminder that demographics are more than statistics — they shape a nation’s future. - #Demographics #Trending #PopulationChange #Europe #History

The Atlanta Fed just revised its GDPNow estimate for Q3 down slightly from 3.9% to 3.8%. Still strong, still above trend, and still well above what most forecasters expected just a few months ago. But here’s the interesting part: While the US economy continues to outperform expectations, other major economies are showing cracks: Japan is wrestling with rising bond yields and the limits of yield curve control. Europe is stagnating. China is fighting deflationary pressure and structural debt issues. Meanwhile, US growth remains resilient driven by consumer spending, investment, and ongoing fiscal momentum. A number like 3.8% doesn’t sound dramatic, but in a world of slowing growth, this level of momentum makes a statement. The US continues to be the global outlier the economy everyone bets against, yet the one capital keeps flowing back to. No wonder global investors overweight US equities and Treasuries. The U.S. isn’t just participating in the global cycle it’s defining it. The real question: Does this strength give the Fed room to stay tighter for longer, or does it simply delay the slowdown the market keeps trying to price in? Because if the economy really is this strong rate cuts aren’t a certainty. They become a negotiation. #GDP #Economy #Macro #AtlantaFed #Growth #Finance #Markets #USMarket #Investing #RecessionNarrative #DataDriven

European leaders scrambled to resist a US-backed draft plan for Ukraine that includes no NATO membership, recognizing Russian-held territories, and capping Ukraine’s military. Mainstream commentators quickly proposed that accepting such terms would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation. Yet other analysts noted that European leaders’ concerns appear less about Ukraine’s future and more about shielding themselves from fallout. 📲 Read the full article on our website.

“The battle on Sunday, November 30, is between two models: the oligarchic model and the democratic socialist model,” said current President Castro, who highlighted her government’s progress in reducing poverty, promoting equality, and encouraging citizen participation, and asked Hondurans to support this model. The opposition has launched a national and international campaign to delegitimize the results of the November 30 election. In recent weeks, the United States, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the European Union have expressed concern about possible irregularities that could occur during the November 30 election. For weeks, media outlets and personalities associated with the Honduran right wing have been using a familiar script, raising the alarm that electoral fraud is being prepared in favor of progressive Moncada. These voices have been joined by several right-wing Latin American politicians, such as Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who called for the defense of votes during and after the election. Corina Machado said in a video, “Your presence is a powerful and legitimate civic way to defend democracy. At times like this, the collective strength of those who believe in freedom and in the future of their families is invincible.” Honduran President Xiomara Castro and LIBRE candidate Rixi Moncada have stated that the Honduran and international right wing is maneuvering to delegitimize the upcoming elections, in which their party has a significant chance of winning. According to LIBRE’s top leaders, what they are seeking is to promote international disregard for the elections. 📲 Read the full article on our website.
