Millennial consumption is the USAs saving grace. Japan and UK don’t have an equivalent population of late 20 to 40 something’s to boost consumption.
That is the core problem for the West. There are no Western countries that have an equivalent Millennial population to boost consumption. This means is the US falters there is no one else to drive growth.
Mexico and a few other BRICS (Not China or Russia) are some of the few countries that are economically advanced enough and have a large young population. But they are either not integrated enough or not advanced enough economically to make a difference.

That is straight up incorrect.
UK millennial population is 21.47%
US millennial population is 21.67%
Percentage doesn’t equate to the actual number of people, though.
Economies scale.
14,391,255 in the UK
72.24 million in the US
That percentage doesn’t mean much when there are 400% more people buying things.
You’d care about relative proportion of the population, not absolute.
A recession is defined by relative change in the size of the economy, not absolute.
