Description: Discussion of worldwide birthrates examines gender roles and evolving definitions of family. Investigating trends in Denmark, Japan, South Korea, and other countries, the program uses data-mapping of childbirth statistics to construct a global picture of cultural conventions and expectations. How adults in different areas of the world view parenthood--whether or not both parents should work, whether or not to have more than one child, or whether to even give birth at all--creates an eye-opening picture of the health of these societies and their economic priorities.
