Global population is looking like it will lose 70% with birth rate heading toward 1.8. Is there any correcting this trend? The Muslims and Communists are unable to do it by sheer coercion. The mechanical womb may be the only hope for humanist humanity. But what about Jesus's people? Will anybody deny themselves and follow Jesus among Christians? Will Christians follow Christ? This is the only hope for humanity now.

We are currently in the midst of what is being termed a “demographic timebomb”. Globally our population is shrinking, but while shrinking, it is also getting older. This is a trend that is likely to have profound consequences for the global economy. How do falling birth rates effect our global economy? All to discuss with Edgar Morgenroth, Professor of Economics DCU.

In this episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson kick off with a fun "propaganda we're not falling for" segment before diving into serious territory: why young buyers are ditching traditional real estate professionals for YouTube and AI, and how housing affordability is literally reshaping America's future families. They explore the trust crisis in real estate, the rise of digital education, and the sobering connection between homeownership dreams and family planning decisions.

From Nairobi, Kenya, we dive into one of the most complex and controversial issues shaping our world in 2025—the global decline in birth rates. This episode explores the economic pressures, political debates, and cultural shifts behind falling fertility, from skyrocketing childcare costs in the West to new population policies targeting Africa. We unpack how feminism, contraception, immigration, and shifting gender roles are influencing family dynamics—and, crucially, what this means for men. Whether you want kids or not, these trends will shape your relationships, career, and the society you live in.

The U.S. birth rate has dropped to a historic low — and demographer Ness Sandoval warns St. Louis will be one of the first major cities to feel the economic and social fallout. He shares what needs to happen for St. Louis to avoid more loss and why the city should take cues from Detroit to incentivize young families to live and work in the region. Action St. Louis Executive Director Kayla Reed also joins the conversation to discuss the May 16 tornado's displacement of north St. Louis residents and why temporary housing programs are so important to keep affected families as close to their homes and communities as possible.

While much of the focus in Washington is on fiscal debates, there's another growing challenge with far-reaching implications for the United States and the global economy: the “youth deficit.”  A recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) finds that declining birth rates and aging populations could undermine productivity and living standards around the world. Unless leaders take action, “younger people will inherit lower economic growth and shoulder the cost of more retirees, while the traditional flow of wealth between generations erodes,” the report warns.  MGI director and report co-author Chris Bradley will discuss the challenge and what the public and private sectors can do to prepare for these changing demographics.

NBC's Rory O'Neill reports that lower birthrates are affecting the market. People want to own a home, but the cost of childcare and other expenses are leading Americans to having less children.

From the BBC World Service: Parents in China are being offered a little extra help, about $500 a year for every child under three. It's the government's first nationwide subsidy in a bid to increase birth rates. State media says around 20 million families are eligible for the payments. But will it work? Plus, with northern Mexico in the middle of a severe drought, the country is falling behind on water deliveries to the U.S. promised by a treaty. The Trump administration isn't happy.

In Episode 16 of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val opens the lines and lets the audience steer the ship through a fast-paced mix of headlines, theories, and cultural commentary. Kicking off with a strange blend of nostalgia and media mind games, Frankie dives into a bizarre “Hulk Hogan vs. Ozzy Osbourne” social media debate before pivoting to real-world concerns like the alarming decline in birth rates. Listeners weigh in with sharp takes on feminism, the breakdown of traditional values, and what it means to raise families in a world shaped by confusion and contradiction. Frankie ties these themes together with his signature wit, touching on post-9/11 societal shifts, psychological warfare in the media, and the engineered suppression of masculinity. With plenty of humor, insight, and unfiltered calls, this open-lines episode captures the raw energy of the Quite Frankly community, where the topics are unpredictable, but the search for truth never wavers.

What would the world look like if children became scarcer? Birthrates are falling across the world but the main voices trying to turn them around seem to be weird traditionalist “pronatalists”. Is there a way to encourage having more kids while preserving women's freedom – and without encouraging right-wing conspiracy ideas about “replacement”? Or should we just tax people who don't have kids? Demographer and author of No One Left: Why the World Needs More Children Paul Morland tells Alex von Tunzelmann how culture not government shapes the way we breed, and why collapsing birthrates are not solely a white European/Western issue any more. • Buy No One Left: Why the World Needs More Children through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org's fees help support independent bookshops too. • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

Birth rates are crashing worldwide. After the Spike author Dean Spears reveals why depopulation — not overpopulation — threatens humanity's future.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1180What We Discuss with Dean Spears:Global depopulation is coming. Birth rates are falling worldwide and will soon drop below replacement level, causing population to peak then decline rapidly within decades.Depopulation won't solve climate change. Environmental problems are solved by changing what people do, not reducing population. Timing doesn't align with climate urgency.Government birth rate policies largely fail. Of 26 countries with birth rates below 1.9, none have returned above 2.0 despite various incentives and programs.Fewer people means fewer innovations. People generate the ideas and technologies that solve problems. Depopulation reduces humanity's capacity for progress.Start conversations about population stabilization. Rather than endless decline, we can work toward stabilizing population and making parenting more feasible and fair.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

The total fertility rate is a small number with big consequences.It measures how many babies, on average, each woman will have over her lifetime. And for a population to remain stable - flat, no growth, no decline - women, on average, have to have 2.1 kids.In the U.S., that number is 1.6, and dropping. It's driving a new political debate about what – if anything – can be done about it. The thing is, beneath that demographic data point are millions of families making intimate decisions about kids. NPR's Sarah McCammon and Brian Mann dug into the politics and personal stories behind America's shrinking birthrate.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

From center-left Ezra Klein to right-wing Matt Walsh, the fertility panic is an elite fixation that is rooted in a human supremacist worldview and a deep fear of slowing growth. Samuel Miller McDonald, geographer and author of the book Progress: A History of Humanity's Worst Idea, exposes how our parasitic relationship with Earth lies at the core of ecological overshoot, and why resisting authoritarianism in an age of contraction means embracing a pluralistic and just degrowth vision. Highlights include: Why our modern relationship to Earth is fundamentally parasitic - regardless of whether societies are capitalist or socialist; How media commentators resist degrowth in various stages and how their rejection reveals their lack of maturity in accepting responsibility for the ecological destruction we are causing; Why degrowth policies and practices should emphasize pluralistic, context-specific approaches rooted in democratic participation, not top-down master plans; Why many degrowth proponents have been dismissive of population concerns; Why the political right is more poised to benefit from ongoing economic contraction and why the liberal 'abundance agenda' needs to be resisted; Why conviviality and class solidarity are key to a successful degrowth transition and how modern societies undermine them; Why core values like fairness, autonomy, and ecological integrity will be essential in resisting authoritarians' claims to power in the coming challenging decades. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/samuel-miller-mcdonald   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

A new poll finds Americans don't see reversing the declining birth rate as a government priority. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

Lyman Stone is a demographer, researcher, and a writer. It's no surprise that birth rates are plummeting; raising kids feels harder than ever. Life is expensive, the future feels uncertain, and chaos is everywhere. So how do we reverse course? What would actually convince people to have more children and pull us back from a looming population crisis? Expect to learn why fertility rates are falling off a cliff, why many young adults are struggling to have and even afford children in this economy, where mating preferences for fertility comes from, how women get their standards for men and who they base it off of, if men are suppose to be the breadwinners of a family this day in age, the real satisfaction rates of men and women in the workforce, why humans have such a hard time with big changes, and much more...

There's one little statistic that seems to have gained a lot of attention recently: the birth rate. With pro-natalist ideas showing up in our culture and politics, Brittany wanted to know: why are people freaking out? Who's trying to solve the population equation, and how?

The Czech study reveals women vaccinated for COVID-19 had significantly lower conception rates than unvaccinated women from June 2021 to 2023. Using nationwide data from the Institute of Health Information and Statistics, researchers analyzed 1.3 million women aged 18-39. By late 2021, 70% were vaccinated, mostly with Pfizer or Moderna mRNA shots. By 2022, conception rates were 1.5 times higher in unvaccinated women. Dr. Vibeke Manniche, MD, PhD, is a Danish epidemiologist and author of 35 books on health and family. She opposed COVID lockdowns, citing disproportionate measures.

In this episode Dennis and Ashleigh discuss the falling birth rates all over the world and what the possible causes and ramifications are.

An alarming Spanish study found vaccinated pregnant women with COVID-19 had a 13.3% miscarriage rate, compared to 4.5% for unvaccinated women. Is this a cause of the declining birthrate in the USA? A peer-reviewed study in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth examined 156 pregnant women with COVID-19 from 2020-2022. Of the 45 vaccinated women, 13.3% miscarried, compared to 4.5% of the 111 unvaccinated women. Most miscarriages in the vaccinated group occurred in the first or second trimester, raising concerns about mRNA safety. Experts like Naomi Wolf and Nicolas Hulscher call for revising public health guidance on COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant women, citing potential reproductive harms. U.S. birth rates have declined since 2019. The general fertility rate was 58.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44 in 2019, dropping to 56.1 in 2022 and 54.5 in 2023, a record low. Total births fell from 3.7 million in 2019 to 3.59 million in 2023, a 2% decline from 2022. Naomi Wolf, Ph.D., is an independent journalist, co-founder, and CEO of DailyClout.io.

Can you pay people to have kids? On one hand, countries that have beefed up social safety nets and pay people to procreate often see short-term success. But long-term results have been remarkably consistent worldwide: It's very hard to pay people to have children. My guest, writer Meagan Day, joins me today to discuss the recent birth rate data, the growing appeal of opt-out fantasies proffered by both tradwife influencers and the manosphere alike, and what our leaders would be wise to consider—beyond a one-time baby bonus.
