Replacement fertility rate is 2.08 children per woman. Less than that, and society shrinks, more, and it grows. In less than 70 years, worldwide fertility has fallen by nearly 50% from 4.7 to 2.4, slightly above replacement fertility. Every industrialized nation today has fertility rates under replacement levels. The consequences for the world are larger than we imagine. Childlessness means aging populations will have minimized support, and the young people will bear the burdens. Demographic winter is coming. Get the facts, discover what’s at stake, and learn what you can do.
At the heart of Demographic Winter is the Sexual Revolution, which separates sex from childbearing, marriage, and from love or any sense of commitment. Pornography, premarital sex, promiscuity, and perversion were all normalized. Abortion was legalized and, in developed nations, enshrined as a basic human right.
We’re fighting for Judeo-Christian civilization and societal survival in general. You choose life and you get life, including children. You choose death and you get death – including childless societies doomed to extinction. Deuteronomy 30:19 echoes this very thought, and says…
While Demographic Winter is a sobering concept, there is hope for society to avoid the terrible impacts of a childless society. Even individuals can make an impact in their own homes, and in society at large. We have developed a simple, seven-step program that will help reverse the tide.
