We're unlocking an episode of More Stuff Matters before coming back with more new episodes!
In the main episode, Ed explored the mystery of falling birth rates through child car booster seats. In this bonus, he takes the conversation further.
Featuring an extended interview with social scientist Dr Alice Evans, they explore not just why people are having fewer children, but who is still having them.
From South Korea and Turkey to Zambia and Uzbekistan, Alice draws on years of research around the world to explore the changing expectations around relationships, marriage and family life.
Together they look at how technology, culture and demographics are reshaping societies across the globe, and what those changes might mean for the future.
