Baby Boom to Bust: Missing Children

SINOPSE

This opening episode takes us to four countries all grappling with declining birthrates and potential economic decline. Catholic Italy: a country with one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, Japan: where there are now more dogs than young children, Australia: where careerism has spawned a multi-million dollar dating industry, and in China: where the government’s ‘one-child’ policy has taken the country from one extreme to another within a generation.
