Britain’s Looming Crisis: Too Few Workers, Too Many Dependents

Britain’s demographic crisis, worker-to-dependent ratio collapse, welfare burden and future economic pressures take centre stage as Roger Gewolb and Jasmine Birtles explain why the UK is heading toward an unsustainable financial future. In this episode of The Gospel According to Dr Roger, they break down how the number of working people supporting non-working citizens has crashed from five to one in the 1960s to just 2.9 today — and will fall toward 1.5 within two decades.
They explore why politicians refuse to confront this looming economic timebomb, how future workers will face unbearable tax burdens, and why Britain should have acted decades ago. A sharp, urgent conversation about demographics, politics, pensions and the real cost of avoiding hard decisions.
