Depopulation Crisis | Point of No Return?

In our latest episode of The Focus, renowned demographer Dr. Paul Morland unpacks one of the most controversial and alarming issues of our time: global depopulation. What happens when the world's population shrinks? How does this shift impact economies, geopolitics, and future generations? Are we truly facing a "population crisis," or is there more to the story? Tune in as we dive into shocking data and explore the hidden truths behind declining birth rates, aging societies, and the consequences no one is talking about.
