Скачать или смотреть Demography vs Modern Society - How Low Birth Rates Dismantle the Future

Governments keep telling us there is no “demographic crisis” – just personal choices, modern lifestyles and a bit of ageing that clever policy will somehow manage. Meanwhile, birth rates collapse, populations grey, and entire pension and healthcare systems quietly move into the red zone.

In this video I take a cold, structural look at what is actually happening with fertility around the world.

We go through the basic mechanics of the demographic transition: how societies move from “many children and high mortality” to “few children and long lives,” and why this shift almost always drags total fertility down into the 1.2–1.8 range once urbanisation, education and modern labour markets kick in.

We look at:

why children stopped being an economic asset and became a high-risk investment project;

why latecomer countries like parts of the Middle East and Latin America are crashing through the transition faster – and harder – than Europe did;

why migration can slow demographic decline, but cannot reverse it in a system that structurally discourages families with 3–4 children;

how ageing societies shift the entire political and economic logic: from growth to maintenance, from investment to rationing.

This is not a “moral” video about who is selfish or virtuous. It’s a structural autopsy of a model that is excellent at producing consumers and very bad at producing the next generation.

If you want to understand why empty schools, overloaded pension systems and permanently rising tax pressure are not random problems, but different faces of the same demographic curve, this is your map of the terrain.
