Birth and Death Rate

Join us for a discussion on the changing birth and death rates in the U.S. and around the world—and what these trends mean for our communities, governments, and future.

In the U.S., birth rates have dropped to record lows while life expectancy is slowly recovering from recent declines. Globally, some countries face population booms while others are aging rapidly. These shifts raise major questions: Who will care for aging populations? How will economies adapt to fewer workers? Should governments encourage people to have more children—or prepare for smaller societies?

We’ll explore how demographic changes intersect with politics, immigration, healthcare, education, and labor. This isn’t just a numbers game—it’s about how we plan for the future, who makes those decisions, and what kind of society we want to build.
