Скачать или смотреть The Global Birth Gap and the Vitality Curve

In this presentation, Stephen Shaw argues that the global threat of *overpopulation* is a myth, as birth rates are actually *spiraling downward* at an exponential rate. He highlights a growing *"birth gap"* caused by a massive increase in *unintentional childlessness**, often resulting from people delaying parenthood until it is biologically too late. By examining data from nations like **Italy, Japan, and South Korea**, Shaw demonstrates that many societies are now failing to reach the **replacement level* necessary to maintain their populations and social systems. He suggests that modern career and education paths have *stretched the timing* of family life to a breaking point, creating a demographic crisis that threatens the future of *global civilization**. Ultimately, he calls for a societal shift that encourages younger people to **start families earlier* to reverse this decline.
