So there is a study by Morgan Stanley that says 45% of women are expected to be single and childless by 2030 per a recent projection.
00:00:18.060
In 2019, Morgan Stanley published an article outlining women's impact on the American economy.
00:00:24.060
The number of prime working-age women in the U.S. has been increasing steadily, and most of them are single and completely focused on their career.
00:00:33.900
These women will continue to have a greater representation in the workforce, helping to boost wages.
00:00:43.700
But these cultural trends are going to have a tremendous impact on the future of American society.
00:00:50.260
Morgan Stanley estimates that 45% of women in their prime working years between the ages of 25 to 44 will be single and childless by the time 2030 arrives.
00:01:09.980
I feel like we owe it to ourselves, to everyone.
00:01:14.920
I feel like it's nature, it's what, it's history, it's everything around us, it's life.
00:01:31.300
Yeah, we owe it to ourselves, and obviously, if we are with a partner that we love and we see a future with,
00:01:39.720
um, and who's going to stand by us, um, then yeah, we, I would have a child with that person.
00:02:12.860
It's like, there's, we can say, do women owe, but it depends on the context.
00:02:27.220
Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but, um, when you're saying the word owe, what do you mean by that?
00:02:33.320
Like, because we don't owe this economy anything.
00:02:39.980
What about being, like, a taxpaying contributing member of society?
00:02:46.040
Well, Michael, it goes back to the question, do you owe anything to society?
00:02:55.780
The other, the other stat I'm going to bring up is 1.56 is the birth rate per woman.
00:03:02.880
It's similar, but what you was referencing to you was from US.
00:03:07.580
Well, my point is to the fact of we don't owe anything to anyone.
00:03:12.520
Any formal being, any person that you see, we don't owe anyone to nothing.
00:03:26.260
But I feel like that's, if you owe something, that must mean I'm in debt somewhere.
00:03:34.580
First of all, and second of all, I strongly agree that there's a reason why us as women
00:03:41.420
can have children and we're supposed to birth kids.
00:03:45.060
But when I decide to do that, how I decide to do that with who I decide to do that with,
00:03:49.380
that I know a lot of people that don't even want to have kids, period.
00:03:52.240
So, but for me, 100%, I feel like we're here to, you know, we do need to reproduce,
00:03:59.920
So, how do we have any structure in society if nobody owes anybody anything?
00:04:08.880
It's my mom and dad that gave me life and a higher being if you believe in it.
00:04:17.780
The only thing that society gives me for my personal opinion, I'm not talking for everyone,
00:04:27.980
Does society give you, how do you, how does society give you debt?
00:04:31.600
Because where I come from, how I grew up, when it comes to protection, it's not the society
00:04:39.360
When it comes to feeding me and giving me opportunities, it wasn't the government that giving me opportunities
00:04:54.780
If you talk about my lineage and my lineage and where my family comes from, that's something different.
00:05:00.420
But me as a human being, to talk about society, society ain't giving me nothing.
00:05:04.740
If you were born at any other period of history, you might see things a little differently.
00:05:24.120
There's definitely not just the truth because how your idea of even going back to the word
00:05:32.340
oh is going to be completely different to either me or a few other people sitting here
00:05:38.580
today is going to have a complete different idea just because of our heritage and because
00:05:44.180
I feel like you just have to speak for yourself, that's it?
00:05:48.180
I would just like to express solemn gratitude to Western society for allowing all of us
00:05:54.840
in this room of all different backgrounds, skin colors, ethnicities, religions to sit
00:05:58.500
in a room with a degree of civility without experiencing any sort of a mob attack on any
00:06:05.140
I think it's a brilliant thing that Western society gave us.
00:06:07.840
And I think we do owe a debt to that, at least at the very least, a debt of respect and
00:06:15.440
I mean that based on my ethnic background and yours, depending on when we were born
00:06:20.600
and where we were born, society would have treated us differently, myself included.
00:06:25.380
And so, we owe tremendous gratitude that we have a Western society, we can have a civil
00:06:32.480
And I'm going to be honest with you, it doesn't make sense to me.
00:06:47.300
Like, I live my life as a black human being, a young black man in this land.
00:06:52.500
The discriminations that have come upon me is different to you.
00:06:57.000
I'm not going to tell you to digest what I've been through to live your life in any different
00:07:19.580
Nobody's disputing what you've been through and your reality, but it does sound like it
00:07:23.780
Because what I'm hearing is that society has conditioned us to be selfish.
00:07:27.820
What do you mean you don't owe the world nothing?
00:07:29.280
Okay, in the world, oh, you don't like the world.
00:07:33.900
But you still, as human beings, we have a biological necessity to create with each other.
00:07:54.460
Because I've probably been through 10 times more than people in this room, but I have
00:08:02.340
If I'm in a room full of you guys, I do owe you something.
00:08:13.460
And we do have, it's a biological necessity for us to produce.
00:08:22.760
My mom's life path on this earth was to be a mother.
00:08:25.580
And she's been through the worst of losing three kids before she had my brother.
00:08:30.100
18 years later, then she lost two more before me.
00:08:33.320
She had to pray at a gravestone just to be a mother.
00:08:37.060
So I think it's very important that we as women should actually take on that role.
00:08:43.080
This is our power to love and to grow and to transform life.
00:08:49.580
I don't know what the world has done to everybody.
00:08:55.220
Why do you think that's such a common mentality that we don't owe society anything?
00:09:01.980
We get so far apart from each other, so torn apart from each other.
00:09:12.260
If we actually connected, we realize that creation is the biggest part of life.
00:09:18.720
We can't deny our human necessity and need just because we're selfish, because we care
00:09:23.920
All these things are not going to be there when we're dead.
00:09:26.320
All he cares about is our soul and what we've left.
