What does low global birth rates tell us?

BBC World Service - Weekend, What does low global birth rates tell us?

South Korea beats its own lowest fertility rate in the world again

South Korea beats its own lowest fertility rate in the world again.

South Korea has recently beaten its own world’s lowest birth rate record once again. We speak to an expert who researches global population trends. 

Also on the programme: A new exhibition at the British Museum gives a glimpse of what women did for the Roman army; and we speak to the organisers of a festival of ‘non-posh Londoners’.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, and Isabel Hilton, who is a London-based writer and broadcaster.
