This documentary examines terms like “aging population” and “demographic disaster”, which are increasingly used to describe the international decline in birth rates. The film reveals how fewer children are being born in almost every country in the world, not just in the often-discussed industrialized nations. According to a study published in the respected medical journal The Lancet, birth rates will drop dramatically in three-quarters of the world’s countries by 2050. Migration will not be enough to compensate for this demographic change. Population Implosion explores the reasons people are having fewer and fewer children and how this will change our societies.
