Why are so many people opting out of parenthood? | The Stream

In this episode, we dive into the BirthStrike movement and the wider phenomenon of declining populations. Why are so many people opting out of parenthood? We also explore governments’ controversial efforts to reverse the trend, and unpack what it means for the future of labour, care, and the planet. Is a declining population a crisis or a chance to rethink the way we live?
