Australia’s birth rate is plummeting with more of us choosing to have one child, or none. Insight host Kumi Taguchi speaks to singles, couples and fertility and population experts to find out what’s behind the baby drought, and what will society look like in forty years as a result? Guests include Vaidehi and Ram, who decided on one child due to environmental concerns and financial constraints. Tracy, who envisioned her son Jamie becoming a father but was surprised when he underwent a vasectomy without her knowledge. Both Jamie and his wife Tenille are against having children. Cara discusses the impact of dating apps on family planning, while Elvis expresses reluctance toward government incentives for having kids. Indiana and Heraldo prioritise their careers over parenthood. Helen reflects on her experience during China's One Child Policy. George and Sonya share their journey to parenthood after a decade of trying. Lisa and Otto, accustomed to Sweden's family support, find Australia lacking in this regard.
