Episode notes
The declining birth rates globally pose significant demographic and economic problems, yet it is not receiving enough attention. Increasing birth rates and building stronger family units present a major opportunity for business growth. Currently, many countries, including the US, Canada, and most of Europe, have birth rates below the replacement rate. Italy, for example, has a birth rate of 1.27, indicating a sharp decline. This decline in birth rates not only affects us on Earth but also poses a challenge for future space exploration and national security. In terms of national security, a nation with a smaller population, like the United States, may struggle to compete economically with a nation like China that has a population of 2 billion. Our ability to self-govern and determine our own future is directly connected to the number of people relative to the global democracy. Ultimately, the birth rate plays a crucial role in shaping demographics and the economy.
