Podcasts about birth rates

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news US Treasury yields are rising today on growing American recession fears may prompt investors to question the safety of US Treasuries as a haven asset. The risk premium jumped after a weekend to think about last week's yield falls.But Wall Street equities have stopped falling. They are not rising either as investors ponder what to do. But last week's sell-off is baked in. They rose after reports of a tariff pause, but fell when this was denied.Then Trump threatened China with 50% tariffs because they retaliated. Gloom returned.And EU ministers are meeting to coordinate their response, and 25% retaliatory tariffs are likely on "some goods".Everyone, except Trump (and his acolytes), can see that this mob-boss theatre will just produce a combination of recession and inflation. And the US won't be immune. The situation is an "urgent problem" for policymakers worldwide, including central banks. Ours meets tomorrow but because this is a fast developing situation, maybe it is too soon to expect a comprehensive response. It is a situation that will play out over years, but we will still want to see our fiscal and monetary policymakers working to contain the impending fallout as best they can.In Canada, their central bank's Business Outlook Survey is reporting widespread concern. Business conditions have deteriorated due to the trade conflict with the United States. Sales outlooks have softened, particularly for exporters. Firms reported having sufficient capacity, and many are delaying investment and hiring decisions amid uncertainty. Firms expect the widespread tariffs will raise costs and lead to higher selling prices. In this context, expectations for inflation are higher.China' FX reserves rose in March, but their overall reserves rose more mostly because they purchased a little more gold and that took their holdings to just under 2300 tonnes. The March gold price zoomed higher, bolstering other reserves. This may reverse sharply in April if the gold price keeps on tracking down.Away from the economic news, we probably should note that while China's overall population is in decline, not all regions are. The Pearl River Guangdong region in from Hong Kong grew by 740,000 to 127.8 million (+0.6%), and births rose by +100,000 to 1.13 mln (+0.8%) in the 2024 year. If this region was its own country, these demographic changes would be impressive. But it does highlight how fast some other parts of China are shrinking.Overall, the recent Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping) holiday saw 790 million cross-regional trips in China, an increase of +7.1, a record high for this holiday period.European retail sales rose +2.3% in February in the euro area on a volume (real) basis, quite a bit better than expected and its best rose since September 2024. In the wider EU it was up +2.0% and still a quite positive shift.German industrial production however was down a sharpish -4.0% in February from the same month a year ago, although to be fair the year-ago benchmark was unusually high. On a seasonally adjusted basis the decline was "only" -1.3%. German export growth is rising however.In Australia yesterday, their pre-election Budget update was released. The underlying cash deficit in the 12 months ending June 30 will be -AU$28 bln, swelling to -AU$42 bln through June 2026, they now say. That's going from -1.0% of GDP to -1.5% of GDP. "[The] escalation in trade hostilities has created significant economic uncertainty and exacerbates the risks to the economic and fiscal outlook", they say.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.15%, up +15 bps from this time yesterday. Risk premiums are jumping. The price of gold will start today at just on US$2966/oz, and down -US$71 from yesterday, down -2.3% and "just another commodity". Holders are selling to cover margin calls now.Oil prices have dropped another +50 USc from yesterday at just on US$61.50/bbl in the US and the international Brent price is now just under US$65/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 55.5 USc, down -40 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 92.5 AUc. Against the euro we down -40 bps from yesterday at just on 50.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today now just on 65.5 and down -30 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$78,846 and down -2.8% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very high at +/- 4.1%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

In this episode of the Adventure Capitalist Podcast, hosts Austin Brawner and Cody Shirk dive deep into the global decline of birthrates and its surprising connection to religiosity. From Sub-Saharan Africa's booming populations to the shrinking demographics of secular nations like South Korea and Japan, we explore the data, patterns, and outliers—like Israel, Iceland, and Georgia—that challenge the narrative. What role does religion play in shaping fertility, and what does this mean for investors eyeing future opportunities? We also speculate on the future: Can secular societies find meaning without faith, or will religious nations dominate the next century? Join us as we unpack the crisis, debate causation versus correlation, and uncover the untold story of birthrates, faith, and global power.

It's been another wild week, and I'm back with four stories that I believe matter most. From birthrates and unemployment to AI's ethical dead ends, this week's update isn't just about what's happening but what it all means. With that, let's get into it.U.S. Birth Rates Hit a 46-Year Low –This is more than an updated stat from the Census Bureau. This is an indication of the future we're building (or not building). U.S. birth rates hit their lowest point since 1979, and while some are cheering it as “fewer mouths to feed,” I think we're missing a much bigger picture. As a father of eight, I've got a unique perspective on this one, and I unpack why declining birth rates are more than a personal choice; they're a cultural signal. A society that stops investing in its future eventually won't have one.The Problem of AI's Moral Blind Spot –Some of the latest research confirms again what many of have feared: AI isn't just wrong sometimes, it's intentionally deceptive. And worse? Attempts to correct it aren't improving things; they're making it more clever at hiding its manipulation. I get into why I don't think this problem is a bug we can fix. We will never be able to patch in a moral compass, and as we put AI in more critical systems, that truth should give us pause. Now, this isn't about being scared of AI but being honest about its limits.4 Million Gen Zs Are Jobless –Headlines say Gen Z doesn't want to work. But when 4.3 million young people are disconnected from school, training, and jobs, it's about way more than “kids these days.” We're seeing the consequences of a system that left them behind. We can argue whether it's the collapse of the education-to-work pipeline or the explosion of AI tools eating up entry-level roles. However, instead of blame, I'd say we need action. Because if we don't help them now, we're going to be asking them for help later, and they won't be ready.AI Search Engines Are Lying to You ConfidentlyI've said many times that the biggest problem with AI isn't just that it's wrong. It's that it doesn't know it's wrong, and neither do we. New research shows that AI search tools like ChatGPT, Grok, and Perplexity are very confidently coming up with answers, and I've got receipts from my own testing to prove it. These tools don't just fumble a play, they throw the game. I unpack how this is happening and why the “just trust the AI” mindset is the most dangerous one of all.What do you think? Let me know in the comments, especially if one of these stories hits home.#birthratecrisis #genzworkforce #aiethics #aisearch #futureofwork

Within the US, and around the world, people are having fewer babies. What does this mean for investors, who are looking for places that are growing (versus shrinking)? We dive into what US states are growing the most, what countries around are growing the most, and why we should all be aware of what's happening.  Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 01:15 - Cody's New York adventure 04:36 - Raising a family in the city 06:57 - Why is the birth rate low? 16:54 - Why is a lower birth rate a problem? 28:27 - What can we change to increase births 33:39 - Countries that are improving 42:00 - Why this episode is happening 46:31 - To the next episode...

Birth rates are plummeting worldwide – and while this might seem like nothing new – as it has been the case in developed countries for quite some time. The thing that is interesting is that we are seeing declining birth rates everywhere and the standard explanations that you have heard in the past don't really hold up.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyleVisit our website: https://www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://bsky.app/profile/pboyle.bsky.socialBusiness Inquiries ➡️ sponsors@onfinance.orgAlice evans Blog: https://www.ggd.world/p/why-are-chinese-marriages-plummetingGoodhart & Pradhan - The Great Demographic Reversal: https://amzn.to/4iswSgWFT - The Relationship Recession: https://www.ft.com/content/43e2b4f6-5ab7-4c47-b9fd-d611c36dad74FT - The New Global Gender Divide: https://www.ft.com/content/29fd9b5c-2f35-41bf-9d4c-994db4e12998

Clement Manyathela speaks with Risenga Maluleke, the Statistician-General of South Africa and Head of Statistics South Africa, about the ongoing crisis of crime in the country. Maluleke clarifies that crime in South Africa can be divided into two categories: reported crime, which is recorded in SAPS (South African Police Service) administrative records, and unreported crime – those incidents that are experienced but never reported to the police. He highlights some of the most frequently reported crimes in South Africa, including: Murders Sexual offences, with around 84% of these incidents reported Housebreaking (when the victim is not home) and home robberies "Housebreaking remains the highest crime in South Africa," Maluleke says. He further explains that a key indicator of a community's safety is whether people feel comfortable walking freely at night, confident in their security. Unfortunately, he notes, this is not the reality in South Africa, particularly for women. Maluleke also points out that many South Africans tend to trust the police more than the judicial system. He explains that, in the court of law, the process begins with the defendant pleading, followed by the trial. In contrast, in a traditional setting, the individual is first tried, and only then is the plea made. Thank you for listening to The Clement Manyathela podcast.

Welcome to the Alfalfa Podcast

William and guests discuss why birth rates are falling, the impacts and the solutions.

Last week, TDA exclusively reported that Coalition Senator Matt Canavan is proposing a policy to offer couples a low-interest loan of $100,000 once they have a child. This loan would only apply to families buying their first home and would be wiped if they have three children. While Canavan has put forward the idea, the Coalition hasn't formally adopted this policy. But it has kickstarted a fascinating conversation about Australia’s declining birth rate. Today we’re here to explain why a declining birth rate is an issue, and breakdown Canavan’s idea to solve it.

Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia addresses the pervasive issue of declining testosterone levels, impacting both men and women. He delves into the causes, effects, and solutions surrounding this epidemic, which significantly affects overall well-being, fertility, and quality of life. Dr. Jay challenges the notion that aging alone is the primary cause, emphasizing the role of environmental toxins, lifestyle factors, and the lack of awareness within the medical community. He offers practical strategies for restoring hormonal balance and achieving optimal health. Episode Takeaways: Low Testosterone Epidemic: Impacts both men and women, leading to decreased energy, muscle mass, bone density, libido, and increased depression and anxiety. Causes: Include environmental toxins (EDCs), chronic stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and medical conditions like hypogonadism. Men's Health: Significant decline in sperm count and motility, contributing to male infertility and lower birth rates. Women's Health: Lack of standardized testing and treatment protocols, leading to undiagnosed and untreated low testosterone, impacting mood, bone density, and sexual desire. Holistic Approach: Emphasizes bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes, and personalized treatment plans to restore hormonal balance and improve quality of life. Proactive Health: Encourages listeners to take control of their health by seeking proper assessments and treatments, rather than accepting typical but not normal symptoms. Environmental Impact: Highlights the effects of microplastics and other environmental toxins on hormonal balance.

It's easy to take growth for granted, for it to seem expected, inevitable even. Every person starts out as a baby and grows up. Plants grow from seeds into food. The economy grows. That stack of mail on your table grows. But why does anything grow the way that it does? In this hour, we go from the Alaska State Fair, to a kitchen in Brooklyn, to the deep sea, to ancient India, to South Korea, and lots of places in between, to investigate this question, and uncover the many forces that drive growth, sometimes wondrous, sometimes terrifying, and sometimes surprisingly, unnervingly fragile.Special thanks to Elie Tanaka, Keith Devlin, Deven Patel, Chris Gole, James Raymo and Jessica SavageEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Matt Kielty, Becca Bressler, Pat Walters, Sindhu Gnanasambandun, Annie McEwen, Simon Adlerwith help from - Rae MondoProduced by - Matt Kielty, Becca Bressler, Pat Walters, Sindhu Gnanasambandun, Annie McEwen, Simon AdlerSound design contributed by - Jeremy Bloomwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Emily Krieger and Natalie Middletonand Edited by  - Pat WaltersEPISODE CITATIONS:Audio:“The Joy of Why,” (https://www.quantamagazine.org/tag/the-joy-of-why/) Steve Strogatz's podcast. Articles:“The End of Children,”(https://zpr.io/WBdg6bi8xwnr) The New Yorker, by Gideon Lewis-KrausBooks:Finding Fibonacci (https://zpr.io/3EjviAttUFke) by Keith DevlinDo Plants Know Math (https://zpr.io/bfbTZDJ8ehx5) by Chris GoleSingup for our newsletter!!

We get the latest as Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky get close to signing a minerals deal between their respective nations – is the US’s unconventional diplomatic stance working? Also in the programme: as South Korea’s birth rate rises for the first time in almost a decade, we ask whether government incentives are a sustainable fix for this worsening global issue? Plus: Switzerland is rethinking its military service rules for dual citizens and a cinema in India is sued by a filmgoer over the length of pre-film advertising.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Birth rates are falling fast and not just in highly developed countries. And as populations age, it's becoming harder to fund pensions or raise labour productivity. But falling fertility could also be harming social cohesion and impeding the innovation needed to solve problems such as climate change. Today on the show, John Burn-Murdoch talks to Alice Evans, a senior lecturer at King's College, London, and the author of the newsletter, The Great Gender Divergence. Together, they try to figure out why fewer people are choosing to have children, or even coupling up in the first place, and what should be done about it. John Burn-Murdoch writes a column each week for the Financial Times. You can find it hereSubscribe on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen.Presented by John Burn-Murdoch. Produced by Edith Rousselot. The editor is Bryant Urstadt. Manuela Saragosa is the executive producer. Audio mix and original music by Breen Turner. The FT's head of audio is Cheryl Brumley.

Today's conversation might piss off a few prophylactic companies (no, I'm not suggesting we buy thumb tacks and go crazy).

Birth rates are declining rapidly across the Western and developed world. Yet...there are still families out there having 5+ children, completely defying modern trends. What encourages someone to have a large family? How do we promote the benefits and joys of having a lot of kids? What does it mean for the future of our country and our world? In today's episode, Jeremy dives into this topic with economist and author, Dr. Catherine Pakaluk of the Catholic University of America, to discuss her work on the subject, specifically her book Hannah's Children: The Women Quietly Defying The Birth Dearth.

Send us a textI engage with Jessica Vaughan, Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, to break down the complexities and consequences of modern immigration policies. Jessica shares insights from her extensive experience in immigration policy, including her work with the U.S. Foreign Service and the Department of Justice.Key topics include:•Mass Immigration and Labour Distortions: How unchecked immigration policies, including the exploitation of the H-1B visa program, have led to wage suppression and job displacement in the tech industry, often benefiting large staffing firms over local talent.•Special Interests and Policy Manipulation: Jessica explores how special interest groups and influential politicians, such as Senator Ted Kennedy, shaped immigration laws to favour employers and low-cost labour rather than the public interest.•Border Security and Enforcement: The discussion highlights the effectiveness of border enforcement policies and the consequences of weak enforcement under the Biden administration, including the rise in illegal crossings and human trafficking concerns.•The Impact of Sanctuary Cities: Jessica explains how sanctuary policies can unintentionally protect criminal activity, leading to public safety concerns while compromising law enforcement efforts.•Birth Rates vs. Immigration: Jessica challenges the notion that mass immigration can offset declining birth rates, emphasizing the financial strains imposed on social welfare systems by poorly regulated immigration policies.Support the showVisit my NEW Website! https://www.christopherbalkaran.comCheck out my Instagram/Tik Tok for daily posts: Instagram @openmindspodTiktok @openmindspodcast

Maye Musk, Elon Musk's mother, is facing backlash after defending her controversial stance on having children regardless of financial circumstances. During a December 15 appearance on Fox & Friends with Rachel Campos-Duffy, the 76-year-old asserted that raising children doesn’t have to be expensive, suggesting there are affordable ways to start a family. Her comments align with sentiments previously expressed by her son Elon, who has fathered 12 children. The Tesla CEO has often warned about the dangers of declining birth rates in the U.S., calling it a greater threat to humanity than climate change.

In this episode, the Eyres review a current article they wrote at latterdaysaintmag.com on the factors that influence couples in deciding whether to try to become pregnant and have a child; and then Richard and Linda expand the discussion to what declining fertility means to the economies and cultures of developed countries around the world.

Birth rates have been on the decline for a number of years, both here in the U.S. and around the world. We'll hear why the trend doesn't apply to all parents. Plus, two authors share their video game obsessions and what we can learn from them. That and more on The Show.

Global fertility rates are dropping, and while this might initially seem like a solution to overpopulation concerns, it also signals major challenges ahead. A generational imbalance could spell disaster for social security, elder care, and the workforce needed to combat climate change. This week, Adam sits down with Dr. Alice Evans to explore the causes behind declining birthrates, the consequences they could bring, and how society's failure to break harmful gender role expectations for men impacts everyone.

One of the biggest reasons for the birth rate nosedive is that people no longer hear the positive arguments for having kids. All they hear is the constant societal push for "freedom" being the ultimate virtue. It's led to a culture of hyper-individualism, where having kids makes absolutely no sense, because kids necessarily infringe on your freedom. In this episode, Jeremy is joined by Tyler Graham to make the case for fatherhood from 3 different angles: 1. The Benefits for You 2. The Benefits For Your Family/Business/Marriage 3. Your Duty To Have Kids Dive in, and remember that one of the major ways you can impact your own kids and community is by constantly telling and showing everyone how great fatherhood and motherhood truly is.

Mads Larsen is an author and journalist whose research focuses on the history of human mating ideologies. The truth can be a tough pill to swallow, but when it comes to saving humanity, even the hardest truth is better than the softest lie.

Expect to learn why Mads was cancelled for talking about Norway's declining birth rates, the key reasons why people aren't having more kids, the underlying psychology behind modern mating, the potential interventions to fix this and much more… Sponsors: See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get a 25% discount on the best supplements from Momentous at https://livemomentous.com/modernwisdom (automatically applied at checkout) Get a Free Gift, 5 Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D and more from AG1 at https://drinkag1.com/modernwisdom (automatically applied at checkout) Get up to 80% off everything sitewide at https://gym.sh/modernwisdom (use code MODERNWISDOM10) Extra Stuff: Get my free reading list of 100 books to read before you die: https://chriswillx.com/books Try my productivity energy drink Neutonic: https://neutonic.com/modernwisdom Episodes You Might Enjoy: #577 - David Goggins - This Is How To Master Your Life: https://tinyurl.com/43hv6y59 #712 - Dr Jordan Peterson - How To Destroy Your Negative Beliefs: https://tinyurl.com/2rtz7avf #700 - Dr Andrew Huberman - The Secret Tools To Hack Your Brain: https://tinyurl.com/3ccn5vkp - Get In Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chriswillx Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/chriswillx YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/modernwisdompodcast Email: https://chriswillx.com/contact - Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the New York Times published an article this week about the growing number of older people who are grieving the fact that they will never become grandparents, as more and more young people refuse to start families and have children. This is an aspect of the birth rate decline that isn't discussed enough. We'll talk about it today. Also, Trump's latest cabinet picks have the media in a state of full-on panic, and it's hilarious to behold. Trump and Biden meet for the first time since Trump's historic election victory. And the new Snow White, Rachel Zegler, has ramped up her campaign to alienate as much of the potential audience as possible—this time, she is viciously attacking the 75 million Americans who voted for Trump. Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/4bEQDy6 Ep.1486 - - - DailyWire+: 47% off for the 47th President—plus, TODAY ONLY, get a FREE Leftist Tears Tumbler with your membership!
