World's Silent Emergency: Population Collapse Is Here - Stephen J Shaw | Wisdom Rebellion #001

By the age of 30, half of women are childless, over half of those will never have children. This phenomenon is not isolated to one country but mirrors a global trend that demographer and filmmaker Stephen J. Shaw explores in his compelling documentary, 'Birthgap.'

In our conversation, Shaw unveils the findings of his extensive research, spanning 24 countries over seven years, to unravel the complexities behind the declining global birthrates. His work sheds light on the existential crisis looming over our future population - a topic alarmingly overlooked by the corporate media.

This conversation is a wake-up call to the world, emphasizing the need for immediate awareness and action to prevent demographic collapse as well as the end of societies as we know it.
