Podcasts about birth rates

In 2024, the number of babies born in South Korea increased for the first time in nine years. The change is welcome news for a country that is dealing with serious population problems.2024年，韩国出生的婴儿人数九年来首次增加。 对于一个正在处理严重人口问题的国家来说，这一变化是可喜的消息。South Korea's statistics agency said recently that 238,300 babies were born last year, an increase of 8,300 from a year earlier.韩国统计局最近表示，去年有238,300名婴儿出生，比去年同期增加了8300名。The agency said the country's fertility rate — the average number of babies born to each woman in her reproductive years — was 0.75 in 2024, up from 0.72 in 2023.该机构表示，该国的生育率 - 在生殖年中每个妇女出生的婴儿的平均数量 - 2024年为0.75，高于2023年的0.72。The data represents the first time that the yearly number of births has increased since 2015.数据代表自2015年以来每年的出生人数首次增加。Choi Yoon Kyung is an expert with the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education. Choi told the Associated Press that researchers must wait for more data over the next few years to see if increased births were driven by “structural changes.”Choi Yoon Kyung是韩国儿童保育和教育研究所的专家。 崔告诉美联社，研究人员必须在接下来的几年中等待更多数据，以查看增加的出生是否是由“结构性变化”驱动的。Park Hyun Jung is with the government agency Statistics Korea. Park said the agency believes the rise is partly due to an increase in marriages following postponements of such plans during the COVID-19 pandemic.公园贤荣（Park Hyun Jung）与韩国政府机构统计局一起。 帕克说，该机构认为，这一崛起的部分原因是婚姻推迟在19009年大流行期间婚姻的增加。Park said another reason for the increase is that a growing number of people entered their early 30s. She also noted a government study that shows a small increase in the number of young people hoping to have children after marriage.帕克说，增加的另一个原因是越来越多的人进入了30多岁。 她还指出，一项政府研究表明，希望结婚后生孩子的年轻人数量少了。Official data show South Korea's fertility rate has been the lowest in the developed world in recent years. In 2022, South Korea was the only country with a fertility rate below one, among members of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.官方数据显示，韩国的生育率近年来一直是发达国家的最低水平。 2022年，韩国是总部位于巴黎的经济合作与发展组织成员中唯一一个低于生育率的国家。The low fertility rate could threaten South Korea's economic health. The country, Asia's fourth largest economy, could face labor shortages and greater spending on public assistance programs. South Korea's central and local governments have been increasingly offering several support programs to those who give birth to children.低生育率可能威胁到韩国的经济健康。 该国是亚洲第四大经济体，可能面临劳动力短缺和在公共援助计划上的支出。 韩国的中央和地方政府越来越多地向那些生下儿童的人提供几个支持计划。But experts say that it will be difficult to solve the country's population problems. Many young people say they do not want to have babies. Their reasons include costly housing, low levels of upward social movement, the high costs of raising and educating children, and a culture that requires women to do more of the childcare.但是专家说，解决该国的人口问题将很难。 许多年轻人说他们不想生婴儿。 他们的原因包括昂贵的住房，较低的向上社会运动，养育和教育儿童的高昂成本以及一种要求妇女做更多育儿的文化。Park said that the fertility rate will likely stay on an upward movement at least for another year. But observers say it remains to be seen whether the rate will go back down as post-pandemic marriages even out. The country's population structure will also change, with a drop in the number of people in their early 30s.帕克说，生育率至少可能会持续一年。 但是观察者说，随着大流行后的婚姻甚至均匀的婚姻，这一比率是否会降低。 该国的人口结构也将发生变化，30多岁的人数减少。Some experts argue that the government should pay more attention to supporting young couples who want to have babies.一些专家认为，政府应该更加关注支持婴儿的年轻夫妇。“There are still people with solid wills to have a family and babies. When we help them realize their hopes, our fertility rate won't suffer a steep, 45-degree drop,” Choi said.崔说：“仍然有稳固的遗嘱拥有一个家庭和婴儿。当我们帮助他们意识到自己的希望时，我们的生育率不会遭受陡峭的45度下降。”

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

The dip in global population is something that's been gaining attention as of late, but mostly in the abstract. Something concrete in that dip is about to come due this fall, a staggering drop in the number of available 18+ year olds for the traditional college path. The first bellwether in what my guest for this episode labeled in a piece that, America is about to go over the ‘demographic cliff'. Journalist Jon Marcus, joins for this episode to explore the intersection of demographic shifts, higher education, and the implications for the workforce. The conversation highlights the decline in birth rates, the resulting impact on college enrollment, and the broader economic consequences of college closures. We also get into the cultural perceptions of the value of a college degree and the challenges faced by institutions in adapting to these changes. Before ending on potential strategies for colleges to navigate the impending demographic cliff and its effects on education and the economy.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores a surprising link between rising therapy culture and falling birth rates. Prompted by a recent New York Times op-ed, he unpacks how processing past trauma can lead to fear of parenting—and why the gospel offers a better way. With biblical insight and pastoral care, Zach reminds us that our hope isn't in perfection, but in Christ, who redeems our past and makes us new.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

Asia correspondent Erin Hale spoke to Lisa Owen about a potential trip to China for Donald Trump and Japan recording its lowest birth rate in more than a century.

David Quinn from the Iona Institute speaks to Kieran on ageing populations, and declining birthrates, with the news that the number of deaths continues to exceed the number of births across the EU. This trend has now been occurring for almost ten years, according to the latest Eurostat figures. Deaths now outnumber births by around a million. David also shares how Denmark has now raised its retirement age reflecting this.  

Tim Goeglein of Focus on the Family Fertility Rates Are Rising; Let's Hope Marriage Rates also Rise Stumbling Toward Utopia Toward a More Perfect Union The post A Rise in the US Birth Rate – Tim Goeglein, 6/4/25 (1552) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Kia ora,Welcome to Thursday'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 that poor American data has seen risk aversion rise in financial markets with the USD falling, benchmark bond prices rising (yields falling), many key commodity prices either falling or showing weakness, and Wall Street underperforming global markets.The poor data was important and widespread.US mortgage applications fell last week for a third week in a row, this time by a solid -3.9% from the prior week but is +18% higher than year ago levels, even if year ago levels were quite weak. The benchmark 30 year mortgage interest rate dipped last week which makes the application levels look even weaker.Meanwhile there was weakness in the US labour market. We get the non-farm payrolls report on Saturday (NZT) but the pre-cursor ADP Employment Report was out today and it was expected to show a +117,000 jobs gain in May. But in fact it only reported a +37,000 gain - and April data was revised lower. There is no evidence in this data that factories are hiring to meet reshoring demand.And the widely watched ISM services PMI isn't showing much optimism either, slipping into a small contraction, its first since June 2024 with all the post-election hubris now evaporated. A feature of this report is the sharpness of the 'new business' component fall.And staying in the US, vehicle sales tumbled in May, falling to an annual rate of 15.65 million units. That was well short of analyst's cut-down expectations of 16.3 million and the steepest monthly decline in nearly five years. In April, sales ran at a 17.25 million rate and that was itself below the 17.8 mln rate in March when buyers rushed to get ahead of anticipated tariff-tax price hikes. Although sales at a 15.65 mln rate isn't nothing, it does indicate the margins of this market is quite price sensitive.So it will be no surprise to know that the US Fed Beige Book for May paints an uninspiring picture in most regions. Half of the Districts reported slight to moderate declines in activity, three Districts reported no change, and three Districts reported slight growth. All District reports indicated that higher tariff rates were putting upward pressure on costs and prices.Things may not improve for the American. Trump is now whining that XI won't take his call. (But he did call Putin who took his call.) And China seems to be on the verge of signing a massive aircraft deal with Airbus, at the direct expense of Boeing.Finally, the Congressional Budget Office has calculated the fiscal impact of the big Trump Budget Bill - saying it will add US$2.4 tln to US deficits, the largest expansion of these deficits ever through gigantic tax cuts for the wealthy. It may be no surprise that Trump can't do basic math, but that the whole Republican congressional party votes for this type of economic damage is quite astounding.In Canada, their central bank review of monetary policy settings left the policy interest rate unchanged at 2.75%, as was expected. They have inflation at 1.7% and an economic expansion of +2.2% in the March quarter, although that is not expected to last. They are watch for downward pressures on inflation from a weaker economy and the upward pressures on inflation from higher costs.In Japan, the 2024 total number of births was 686,061, down -5.7% from the previous year. This was the first time annual births have fallen below 700,000 since record-keeping began in 1899.Australia released its Q1-2025 GDP growth data yesterday. Their economy grew +0.2% in Q1-2025 from Q4-2024, slowing from +0.6% in Q4 and falling short of the +0.4% expected by analysts. This marked the 14th quarter of expansion but the softest pace in three quarters. On an annual basis, the GDP expanded +1.3%, holding steady for the second straight quarter but missing the expected +1.5% rise.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.36%, and down -10 bps from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,379/oz, and up +US$26 from yesterday.Oil prices are down -US$1 in the US at just over US$62.50/bbl while the international Brent price is down -US$1.50 at US$64.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 60.4 USc, a +30 bps rise from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at just over 92.8 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 52.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.2 and up +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$105,010 and down -0.9% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/-1.0%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

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.

In this solo episode of Right to Life Radio, host John Gerardi dives into the pronatalism movement, addressing America's falling birth rates and their economic risks. He dismisses right-wing fixes like IVF and artificial wombs, pushing for more marriages to solve the issue—a solution at odds with the left's autonomy fixation and the right's individualism. Girardi also tears into a misleading Pulitzer-winning ProPublica story about Georgia's abortion laws and calls out ACOG for unclear miscarriage care guidance. He wraps up with concerns about Democrats targeting the Senate filibuster to pass abortion laws and wonders why Republicans don't act first.

There's been a bit of an obsession with declining birth rates lately, particularly on the right. That has sparked conversations about policies that might entice people to have more children. But all the talk seems to ignore the social issues beneath the trend — which might be why policy interventions around the world haven't been able to reverse it. Drew Goins, Molly Roberts and Bina Venkataraman discuss some solutions to falling birth rates and whether it's really the huge problem people are making it out to be.Additional reading:What Trump doesn't know about the cost of raising kidsYou can't bribe and shame your way to more babies

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.

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has heard a range of proposals to increase the fertility rate in the United States. While taking questions in the Oval Office on Tuesday, April 22, President Donald Trump expressed support for a “baby bonus” that would pay $5,000 per delivery to the women who have children, calling it a “good idea.” Additionally, advocates and policy experts have pitched the White House on scholarship allocations for married people or parents, new government funding for education on conception, and a “National Medal of Motherhood” awarded to women with six or more children.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

On the radio show this week, we dive into Donald Trump's latest round of harmful, destructive executive orders and outlandish ideas, like medals for motherhood and classes about menstrual cycles to increase the birth rate — instead of policies that moms, families, businesses, and our economy really need to thrive! We also discuss the rise in discriminatory policies affecting LGBTQ youth and the misrepresentation of civil rights law. Next, we hear about how parents and teachers living abroad on military bases are handling this onslaught of attacks on public education. Finally, we cover how community support and advocacy can help children caught up in our inhumane immigration system receive the legal representation they need and deserve.      SPECIAL GUESTS: Monifa Bandele, MomsRising, @MomsRising, @momsrising.org; Brian Dittmeier, GLSEN, @glsen, @glsen.bsky.social; Kristen Smith, European Parent Teacher Association; Elinor Jordan, Michigan Immigrant Rights Center, @Michimmigrant

Journalist Katherine Stewart charts the rise of the Christian right and its influence in the Trump administration in her new book “Money, Lies, and God.” “The Empire Strikes Back,” now 45 years old, changed Hollywood with its bold twists, deeper characters, and the introduction of Yoda. It's the franchise that shaped sequels. Women are less likely to have kids than ever, says a new CDC report. The fertility rate in the U.S. has dropped for years — now the White House wants to reverse that trend.

In Hour 1 of the Marc Cox Morning Show, Marc dives into a controversial Illinois bill that would force schools to drop longtime mascots, raising questions about cost and political agendas. He then tackles changes within the Boy Scouts, including the inclusion of girls and the removal of long-standing Native American traditions—sparking criticism that the organization is going “woke.” In the Kim on a Whim segment, Kim St. Onge joins to examine why 57% of adults aged 18–49 say they don't want kids, discussing financial challenges, environmental concerns, and proposed government incentives like a $5,000 baby bonus. The hour wraps with a look at Tulsi Gabbard's call for declassification of domestic terrorism plans, raising alarms over government surveillance and free speech under the Biden administration.

The conversation covers a range of topics including trade negotiations with China, health concerns regarding synthetic food dyes, initiatives to boost birth rates in America, political dynamics in California, legal debates surrounding parental rights in education, cultural reflections on public figures, and strategies in the ongoing tariff wars. Each theme is explored in depth, providing insights into current events and societal issues.  

Hosts: Adam Gardiner and Erin Rider    President Trump has vowed to be the "fertilization president,” saying he will tackle the country's declining birth rate. Now... we're getting a better look at the potential proposals, including a baby bonus for new mothers, research into infertility, and removing barriers to IVF treatments. Adam and Erin share their thoughts on the plan and who would pay for things like a baby bonus.

In this episode, Aaron McIntire discusses various pressing issues including judicial overreach, the JFK assassination, changes in U.S. foreign aid, public health controversies surrounding vaccinations, welfare reform, declining birth rates, and economic policy debates -- and why 'America First' economic policies must be given a fair chance.    

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!!
