Face of Pro-Life #151: Alex Joseph: Contraception and Population
Ave Maria! Alex Joseph from India gives his unique perspective of the population problem as he witnessed it in one of the most densely populated counties in the world. Listens as he explains how India is currently undergoing many of the changes we experienced 40 years ago, including a massive decrease in the birth rate due to the adoption of the contraceptive mentality. Although India is still above the replacement level it has decreased along with virtually every other country throughout the world, including the Muslim countries which are so often cited as growing out of control. Only a small part of Africa still has close to historical birthrates. The result is that instead of a population explosion, we are mathematically guaranteed to have a population implosion. But, before that we will have the problem of taking care of our aging population with a rapidly shrinking numbers of youth. This problem is so large that it will impoverish even the richest countries in the world. Ave Maria! +++ For Audio go to airmaria.com?p=21567
China’s undergoing a major demographic shift. A recent report from China’s National Bureau of Statistics said that the number of city dwellers has surpassed the rural population in the mainland for the first time in the country’s history. More worryingly though, the working-age population, or those aged 15 to 60, declined for the first time since 2002. Stephy Chung takes a look at the emerging senior care industry in China, as its labor force shrinks and its population ages.
