A quiet revolution may be required to reverse economic policies causing this attack on humanity’s advancement
Far from a doomsday scenario, low birth rates are exposing today’s flaws – and offering tomorrow’s opportunities. As we stand in 2025, with global populations stabilising and some nations facing acute shortages of young people, it’s time to pivot from fear to innovation.
In the end, birth rates will find equilibrium when societies prioritise well-being over endless growth. Today’s ‘economic idiocy’ – prioritising profits over people – is the root issue. Sidestep the politicians consulting the same flawed economists and build from the bottom up. Low birth rates are not the end: they are the catalyst for a more humane, sustainable world – one where all the people live richer, fuller lives.
