Falling Fertility: The Crisis That Could End Civilisation | Andrew Glover for Quillette

Birth rates are plummeting across the developed world—and almost no one is prepared to face what comes next. In this compelling Quillette essay, social scientist Andrew Glover breaks the silence around our collapsing fertility rates. He asks: why is one of the most pressing civilisational threats—demographic decline—so often ignored, downplayed, or treated as taboo? From ideological blind spots in academia to cultural discomfort around pronatalism, Glover traces how institutions, media, and social norms have suppressed a conversation we desperately need to have. Immigration has masked the trend. Demographic momentum has delayed the consequences. But the engines are off—and the fall is coming. 🎙️ Narrated by Zoe Booth. 📖 Read the original essay: https://quillette.com/2025/06/13/fall... 🔔 Subscribe for more:    / @quillette   👉 Share this video if you think declining fertility should be part of the national conversation. 👍 Like and subscribe to support independent journalism. 🗣️ Comment below: Should we treat fertility as a public issue? ------- Quillette is an Australian-based online magazine that focuses on long-form analysis and cultural commentary.
