Spark classroom discussion about gender roles and evolving definitions of family with this program on worldwide birthrates. Examining trends in Denmark, Japan, South Korea, and other countries, the video uses data-mapping of childbirth statistics to construct a global picture of cultural conventions and expectations. How adults in different areas of the world view parenthood—whether or not both parents should work, whether or not to have more than one child, or whether to even give birth at all—creates an eye-opening picture of the health of these societies and their economic priorities. This is an ideal visual tool for global studies with a sociological focus. (31 minutes)
