  • Episode 35, Part 1 - How We Decide

    Poverty and mental health. Does growing the number of people on the planet impact these challenges? If it does, how and why? That’s what we’re looking at in our episodes on poverty.  This episode is a rebroadcast of Dr. Warren Miller’s interview on how we make decisions. While Dr. Miller’s work is mainly focused on how people, women in particular, make decisions about having children, I think it gives us a good look at the physiology of decision-making processes. This will set us up for the next few episodes where we do a deep dive into the impacts of poverty on mental health.  to learn more about Rennie's work, please visit The Transnational Family Research Institute at www.tfri.org.

  • Episode 33, Part 3 - Population and Poverty, An Overview

    In my opinion, of all the episodes I've posted on The People Factor, this last part of my interview with Dr. Rachel Nugent provides the best conversation about the confluence of population, poverty and economics and provides some examples of how some nations have successfully addressed population by empowering women socially and economically.
