From Karens to Kids

This chapter humorously discusses the sharp decline in the popularity of the name 'Karen' while segueing into serious considerations regarding declining birth rates in China and the challenges faced by potential parents. The speakers explore the implications of demographic trends, contrasting the youthful potential of India's population with China's aging demographic, all while addressing societal pressures surrounding child-rearing costs. The dialogue blends light-hearted anecdotes with critical reflections on individual choice, family dynamics, and the influence of global trends on local cultures.
