BRICS countries are the future, not EU/G7.

The BRICS economic bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa for the uneducated) already has a larger GDP in nominal and PPP terms than the EU or NAFTA and represents over 40% of the world's population.


China (the flagship economy of BRICS) is both the largest economy and the largest population on the planet, and is just starting the largest infrastructure project in human history since the Great Wall of China that is expected to account for 8% of the world's economy when complete in less than two decades.

India is expected to be the world's largest population by the end of the century, and have high economic growth and development.

Russia has the greatest amount of hard power (military personnel, kinetic weapons, nuclear triad) and the most natural resources in the world.

Brazil is well on its way to economic dominance of South America and Central America and exerting a sphere of influence on Spanish/Portugese-speaking countries with economic aid from the Chinese.

South Africa is the most developed country in Africa and is the primary contender for the economic leading power  on the continent.

Economists project China and India making up 72-76% of global GDP by 2060. 
 

Try to immigrate to a BRICS country or at least hold dual citizenship, as I predict the G7/EU will fall from economic prominence a LOT sooner than most people expect. I'm currently living in Britannia, but I've been developing ties in Russia and China to eventually pack my kids in those prosperous countries if "globohomo" collapses and thriving authoritarian states reign supreme once more.

Conclusion is a joke. I dont want a South African passport because maybe I'll be a citizen of an economy in a club that has already basically collapsed. 

Also Russia comments are weird given current circumstances.

 

If your projections become true, you do not have to immigrate to BRICS. 

China, India and Arabs will acquire most of the real estates in EU and make it a tourist destinations. 

So you and your kids should specialize in tourism.

Thoughts on population growth trends in China? Whats gonna happen in the next 2-3 generations when the elderly vastly outnumber those that can take care of them? Hard to have the worlds largest economy when 60-70% of your population are senior citizens
