Demograaf Jan Latten: ''Familielijnen zullen op Termijn Uitsterven'' | Ad Verbrugge #2315

In this episode of De Nieuwe Wereld, Ad Verbrugge speaks with Jan Latten, former chief demographer at Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and emeritus professor of social demography at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Together, they discuss a topic that will fundamentally impact the future of the Netherlands: the approaching 'baby crisis'. Why is the birth rate among the native population falling so drastically, and what are the effects of the rapid increase in single-person households and segregation on the dating market? Latten warns of the social and cultural consequences of the current demographic paradox. While the Netherlands is grappling with natural population decline, the country is growing at an unprecedented rate due to migration. This is causing a shift in which secular, Western self-expression in cities increasingly clashes with imported traditional and religious values. How is society dealing with this changing reality, and why is the theory of global secularization failing? ----------------- Support DNW Make the sound of the New World possible.
