From baby boom to baby bust, Europe’s birthrates have been dropping for decades. But why are more and more young Europeans choosing to be child-free? Arte Europe Weekly unpacks the many reasons behind the continent's sagging population.
This weekly News programme is produced by the Franco-German broadcaster ARTE and made available in 8 languages through a European media partnership formed by El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE), Telex (HU) in coordination with ARTE. The project has been made possible with EU funding within the framework of the „European Media Platforms” preparatory action.
