Description

We've been told for decades that the world has too many people, that overpopulation is the great peril of our age. It's all nonsense. In fact, the reverse is true. We are on the brink of a demographic implosion. For the first time in centuries, the world faces population decline. And this time, it's not because of wars, famines, or plagues. It's because people have simply stopped having babies. What to Expect When No One's Expecting explores how our fertility collapse happened, what the world it's creating will look like, and what can be done to stop it.
