What is the “birth gap” or the population bomb?
Stephen’s documentary "Birthgap - Childless World" is about his documentary in discovering why birthrates are falling worldwide for decades. Europe is currently experiencing falling birthrates, which makes him question whether the world is experiencing overpopulation. While looking at data, people who control the narrative make it seem like there’s too many people and babies and the same narrative hasn’t changed since the 70’s, making him believe that this concept has turned into an ideology.
Lies Being Told to Women
For the longest time, women have been told that their career should be the most important thing in their life and that choosing to be a mother, or a stay-at-home mother, is something to be ashamed of our counter to the progress that’s being going on for women. However, women’s fertility has a deadline and the risk of having children increases as they get older. Also contrary to popular belief is how having babies is no longer worth it given the alleged “overpopulation” happening worldwide.
