Description

Students from all over the world claim their right for a childfree life. Some want freedom, others long for better gender balance, and others recoil in the face a dystopian future. Demographers say the childfree are few and far between. That is about to change.

About A CHILDLESS WORLD

In November 2022, the earth crossed an important threshold—eight billion inhabitants. Most media focused on overpopulation—when in fact, depopulation is a far more interesting problem. Half of the world’s countries are not creating enough children even to maintain current levels, while some of them seem to have stopped altogether. This is one of the most massive and unexpected phenomena of our time: how modern societies are silently putting themselves on a trajectory of stagnation if not outright
extinction. In this podcast, we investigate this trend, and try to understand what it will mean to live in a world without children.

David Duhamel, economics professor at Parsons Paris and adjunct professor at Sciences Po Paris, tells the story of the world to come: a childless world
