In this podcast, Mads Larsen explores the troubling decline in birth rates in Norway and other Western nations, which he views as a serious existential threat. He identifies several interconnected factors contributing to this trend: the growing empowerment and independence of women, which raises their expectations for partners; the disconnect between men’s and women’s dating strategies in a highly individualistic environment; and evolving cultural attitudes toward relationships and parenthood. Despite facing criticism and accusations of misogyny, Larsen insists that tackling this issue requires open dialogue and innovative solutions, all while ensuring that women’s freedoms remain intact.
