The Birthrate Crisis: Is Religion the Key to Global Growth?
Description
In this episode of the Adventure Capitalist Podcast, hosts Austin Brawner and Cody Shirk dive deep into the global decline of birthrates and its surprising connection to religiosity. From Sub-Saharan Africa's booming populations to the shrinking demographics of secular nations like South Korea and Japan, we explore the data, patterns, and outliers—like Israel, Iceland, and Georgia—that challenge the narrative. What role does religion play in shaping fertility, and what does this mean for investors eyeing future opportunities? We also speculate on the future: Can secular societies find meaning without faith, or will religious nations dominate the next century? Join us as we unpack the crisis, debate causation versus correlation, and uncover the untold story of birthrates, faith, and global power.
