Press Conference to Announce the Release of 'Demographic Winter: the decline of the human family'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ --
When: February 12, 2008 at 1:00pm

Where: The National Press Club (529 14th. St. NW, Washington, DC) in the
Zenger Room

Why: To announce the release of a groundbreaking documentary,
"Demographic Winter: the decline of the human family," on the
catastrophic consequences of rapidly falling birthrates -- a global
phenomenon.

Worldwide, birthrates have declined by 50% in the past half-century.
There are now 59 nations, with 44% of the world's population, with
below replacement birthrates.

A birthrate of 2.1 is needed to replace current population.
Continent-wide, the European birthrate is 1.3. By 2030, Europe is
expected to have a shortfall of 20 million workers. Russia is
expected to lose one-third of its current population by 2050.

In nations with declining populations, who will operate the
factories and farms? Who will guard the frontiers? With a graying
population (a declining birthrate combined with growing longevity),
who will support pension systems and otherwise care for the elderly?

The documentary addresses these and other crucial questions.

Speakers: Maria Sophia Aguirre (Professor of Economics, Catholic
University), Patrick Fagan (Senior Fellow, Family Research Council),
Phillip Longman (Senior Fellow, New American Foundation and author
of "The Empty Cradle: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World
Prosperity And What To Do About It"), Dr. Allan Carlson
(International Secretary, World Congress of Families), Jennifer
Marshall (Director of Domestic Studies, the Heritage Foundation) and
Christine Vollmer (Latin American Alliance for the Family).

There will be a screening of "Demographic Winter: the decline of the
human family" the same day, 5pm at the Allison Auditorium of the
Heritage Foundation (214 Massachusetts, Ave, N.W., Washington, DC).
