E70: Population Collapse: The Looming Crisis

Darrell Bricker, co-author of Empty Planet, explains why global population decline—not overpopulation—is the defining issue of the 21st century and what it means for cities, economies, and politics. Guest Bio: Dr. Darrell Bricker is the Global CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, a leading public opinion research firm, and co-author of Empty Planet: The Shock of Global Population Decline. A seasoned demographer and political analyst, Bricker has traveled the world studying population trends and their cultural, economic, and political consequences. Topics Discussed: The global fertility decline and future population collapse Why overpopulation fears are outdated and misleading Cultural vs. economic drivers of fertility decisions Challenges facing aging societies (Japan, China, Russia) Urban planning misaligned with demographic reality The economic risks of fewer consumers and tax contributors The failure of pro-natalist policies Geopolitical implications of shrinking, aging populations How cities, businesses, and investors should adapt Top 3 Quotes: “Robots don’t buy cars.” “The real issue we’re dealing with here is culture—not just money.” “Take a look at your own family—how many kids did your grandparents have? How many do your kids plan to have? That’s the story.” 🎙 The Pod is hosted by Jesse Wright 💬 For guest suggestions, questions, or media inquiries, reach out at https://elpodcast.media/ 📬 Never miss an episode – subscribe and follow wherever you get your podcasts. ⭐️ If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the show.
