BBC Sounds - Rethink, Rethink Population, Is demography destiny?

Amol Rajan and guests rethink some of our long-held assumptions about demography.

In the first of five programmes discussing how we should respond to population change around the world, Amol Rajan and guests ask, ‘Is demography destiny?'

In a new five-part Rethink series, Amol Rajan and guests challenge some of our long-held assumptions about population change. Are there really too many people in the world - or will some countries actually end up with too few?
