MEDIA ADVISORY, June 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Barry McLerran of SRB Productions -- producer of "Demographic Winter: the decline of the human family" -- said he was delighted that the documentary received favorable mention from Chuck Colson.

In a June 10 commentary ("Demographics and Prosperity" – the second in a 3-part series on declining birthrates), the Christian conservative icon called "Demographic Winter: the decline of the human family" a "brilliant documentary."

Commenting on Japan's post-war economic miracle that ground to a halt during the 1980s, Colson observed: "No one mentioned the aging of the Japanese population. And that is still true today, even as the economy staggers." Colson added, "It is as if those experts are wearing glasses that will not let them see the connection between demographics and prosperity."

Worldwide, birth rates have declined by more than 50% in the past 40 years. In most of the industrialized world, birth rates are well below replacement level.

McLerran thanked Colson for his discernment and leadership on this issue. "Chuck Colson understands the vital connection between birth rates and national prosperity," McLerran observed.

"He knows that a vigorous economy cannot be maintained in the face of falling birth rates," McLerran declared.

"Demographic Winter: the decline of the human family," includes interviews with demographers, sociologists and economists, including Gary Becker, a Nobel Prize-winning economist at the University of Chicago.
