Columbia Basin Badger Club Forum – Population Implosion: Impacts of Lower Birthrates – July 18, 2024
Virtual online via Zoom
From 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.
Cost: $5 for non members – must register
During the 20th century the global population grew from 1.6 billion to 6 billion. Since then birth rates have fallen dramatically. Between 1950 and 2021 the global fertility rate per woman fell from 4.8 to 2.2. At the same time the population is aging rapidly.
Shrinking and aging populations lead to smaller work forces and higher burdens on health and social support systems. China, Japan, and South Korea have spent billions trying to encourage women to have more babies through cash subsidies, childcare services and infertility treatment with no success.
What are the ramifications, pros and cons, for the United States and can anything be done to ease the economic impacts?
Our speaker for this forum is Darrell Bricker, co-author of the book Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline. Bricker is chief executive officer of Ipsos Public Affairs, the world’s leading social and opinion research firm. Prior to joining Ipsos, Bricker was director of public opinion research in the office of the prime minister of Canada. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Carleton University and lives in Toronto with his family.
