Podcasts about birth rates

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: The U.S. fertility rate dropped to another record low in 2025, according to provisional CDC data, marking a 23% drop since 2007. Jill Filipovic, attorney and author of several books, including OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2020),  and Karen Guzzo, director of the Carolina Population Center and a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explain what's behind the decline, the current Republican and far-right conservative policy plans to try and reverse those trends and what actually works to incentivize a growing population. Alex Mayyasi, a longtime contributor to Planet Money and the author of Planet Money: A Guide to the Economic Forces That Shape Your Life (W. W. Norton & Company, 2026), and Mary Childs, a co-host of NPR's Planet Money, offers insight into making decisions on getting and spending money and why markets work the way they do. Manoush Zomorodi, host of NPR's TED Radio Hour and author of Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being (Flatiron, 2026), talks about the impact on our bodies of our interactions with our phones and other tech -- and how to stay healthy and stay connected. Stephanie Coontz, director of research and public education at the Council on Contemporary Families and the author of The Way We Never Were; Marriage, a History; and now, For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage (Viking, May 26, 2026), offers historical context for the institution of marriage and examines the attitudes and policies that can strengthen it. Martha Nussbaum, professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago and the author of The Republic of Love: Opera & Political Freedom (Oxford University Press, 2026), offers her analysis of opera as an arm of the Enlightenment, from Mozart to today.   These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: Why U.S. Birth Rates Are Dropping Planet Money: The Book Our Bodies & Our Tech Marriage in Context Opera and Democracy   Photo: Labor Day weekend crowds at Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York, September 2020.

He's 31, and nobody he knows is having kids. Tech is to blame, but what's the solution? Today, we're talking to Connor Leahy, US Director at ControlAI. We discuss why plummeting birth rates look eerily similar to what happens when zoo animals stop breeding, how ideas can spread and cause real harm the same way diseases do, and why the safest path with superintelligence might be to ban it outright rather than pretend we already understand it. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! To learn more about ControlAI, check out their website here

For years, Canada's housing strategy focused on increasing the number of housing units built. But even during periods of record apartment construction, family-sized homes became increasingly scarce.In this episode of the Demografix, Mike Moffatt and Cara Stern unpack a major problem hidden inside Canada's housing statistics: the country is building fewer family-sized homes than it did 20 years ago.Why are three-bedroom homes becoming so difficult to find? Why are developers building more small condos instead of homes for families? And how do zoning rules, development charges, land shortages, and housing policies shape what gets built?The conversation explores:• Why housing "units" and housing "homes" are not the same thing• The dramatic decline in single-detached homes, semis, and townhouses• Why family-sized condos remain rare and expensive• How rising land costs and government policies affect housing supply• The connection between housing affordability and Canada's falling birth rate• Why many young families are leaving major cities• Policy solutions that could help create more family-friendly housingIf Canada wants cities that work for young families, workers, and future generations, we need to start measuring success by more than just the number of housing units built.Chapters:00:55 What Families Actually Need In A Home02:00 Why Three-Bedroom Apartments Are So Rare04:09 Why Condos Stop Making Sense For Families05:00 Canada Is Building Fewer Family-Sized Homes07:06 The Problem With Counting “Units” Instead Of Homes09:03 Who Shoebox Condos Actually Work For10:07 If Demand Is Strong, Why Aren't Builders Responding?12:14 Why The GTA Builds Fewer Family Homes14:02 Urban Boundaries, Sprawl, And Long Commutes15:16 Taxes And Fees That Favor McMansions16:52 Why Developers Don't Build Family-Sized Apartments18:28 Housing Costs, Birth Rates, And Families Leaving Cities22:05 How Canada Could Fix Family HousingResearch/links:From Policy Gridlock to Housing Growth: A Roadmap for Gentle Densityhttps://www.missingmiddleinitiative.ca/p/from-policy-gridlock-to-housing-growth Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinFunded by the Neptis Foundation https://neptis.org/

Births in England and Wales have fallen again, for the fourth record-low year in a row, and the numbers are not exactly whispering. They are standing in the kitchen at midnight, holding a mug of tea, saying, “We may have a problem here.”In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at the dramatic fall in the birth rate, the latest ONS figures, and what they reveal about family, fertility, money, housing, culture, marriage, and the strange modern habit of treating children as both priceless blessings and impossible luxury goods.England and Wales recorded 585,396 live births in 2025, down from 594,677 in 2024. The total fertility rate fell to around 1.39 children per woman, far below the usual replacement level of about 2.1. Back in 1970, there were 784,486 live births and the fertility rate was around 2.40. In plain English, we are having far fewer babies than we used to, and not by a polite little margin either.We also discuss the wider fertility picture, including studies suggesting sperm counts may have fallen sharply since the 1970s. That does not prove the birth-rate collapse is biological, and no, we are not about to blame the entire thing on plastic bottles and sad sandwiches. But it does suggest the story may be deeper than lifestyle choice alone.So why are people having fewer children? Is it housing? Childcare costs? Delayed marriage? Economic anxiety? Cultural exhaustion? A loss of hope? Or simply the fact that modern life appears to have been designed by a committee of accountants who once saw a family from a distance?From a Christian perspective, children are not merely demographic units. They are gifts, blessings, futures, interruptions, joys, terrors, and little walking reminders that life is meant to continue.A sharp, thoughtful and sardonic look at Britain's falling birth rate, fertility decline, family life, and what happens when a nation quietly stops expecting tomorrow.

There are plenty of reasons NOT to have kids. But a new paper suggests having them may be the only way to protect gender equality over the long term.

In more than two-thirds of the world, the average number of children born to each woman has fallen below the “replacement rate”. Employment, home ownership and education are still big factors. But increasingly, so are mobile phones.Mentioned in this podcast:Why birth rates are falling everywhere all at onceCredit: The Columbus DispatchWant to get in touch?

Kim on a Whim tackles America's collapsing birth rate and the growing belief among younger generations that marriage and parenthood are obstacles instead of life goals. Kim argues modern feminism, corporate ambition culture, and social messaging have convinced many women that being “just a mom” is somehow a failure, pointing to criticism directed at Missouri singer and mother Hannah Harper after her American Idol win. Marc and Kim debate whether technology, social media, and dating apps have emotionally isolated people and weakened real-world social skills, with Marc arguing hookup culture and instant-access dating apps have stripped relationships of meaningful emotional connection. The conversation expands into concerns about AI-generated communication, fake online identities, and even people forming romantic attachments to AI bots, while Kim warns younger generations increasingly rely on artificial tools instead of authentic interaction. The segment blends cultural criticism, personal stories about marriage and dating, and broader concerns about how technology, feminism, and modern social habits may be reshaping relationships, family formation, and the future population itself.

The U.S. fertility rate dropped to another record low in 2025, according to provisional CDC data, marking a 23% drop since 2007. Jill Filipovic, attorney and author of several books, including OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left Behind (Atria/One Signal Publishers, 2020),  and Karen Guzzo, director of the Carolina Population Center and a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explain what's behind the decline, the current Republican and far-right conservative policy plans to try and reverse those trends and what actually works to incentivize a growing population.

Birthrates have been declining for years here in the U.S., but for those 45 and up they’re increasing by double digits. Actress Cameron Diaz and her husband, 47-year-old Benji Madden just announced the birth of their son, Nautus. The couple has been very private about the details of their growing family, but they are on a sizable list of notable, older parents. While some people may have negative comments about the impact to the child, many recent studies have found that having children later in life, thanks to modern technology, has increased health benefits for both the parents and the child.
