How the decline in religion will deepen the coming demographic crisis

A new paper from The Iona Institute called ‘Religion, Marriage and Fertility: Shall the religious inherit Ireland?’ discusses how the decline of religious practice in Ireland is accelerating the declines in marriage and fertility rates in the country. In turn, this will make the ageing of our population, which is already well underway, even worse. A demographic crisis is coming fast. David Quinn was interviewed about the new paper on RTE’s Our Divine Sparks by Dearbhail McDonald. You can listen to it here.
