Population Crisis & Child-Free Life: Culture, Policy & Future

A 60-minute session on one of the most personal choices anyone makes, and on why everyone else seems to have an opinion about it. Relatives want good news, parents want someone to look after them, leaders want a third baby, and a growing number of young couples are quietly saying not yet, or not at all. Is choosing children, or choosing not to, anybody's business but your own? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
