Formerly called | World Population Balance |
Population Balance (PB) is a non-profit American-Canadian organization founded in 1993 which works to "inspire narrative, behavioral, and system change toward substantially downscaling human impact to enable natural ecosystems, nonhuman animals, and humanity to flourish together.".[1] Population Balance was formerly known as World Population Balance until 2021.
Overview
Population Balance has three pillars that drive its work and outreach[1]:
1. Liberated and Informed Choices[2]
-"We empower people to make liberated and informed choices for themselves, their families, and the planet, including adopting broader understandings of “family” with our human and nonhuman kin."[1]
2. Ecocentrism[3]
-"We advocate for a radical shift in our relationship with all animals and with the entire natural world: from one of domination and exploitation, to one of reverence, justice, and care."[1]
3. Social Justice[4] -"We challenge the unjust and growth-driven socioeconomic systems that exploit and disempower human communities and threaten all life on Earth."[1]
Population Balance’s work has been published[5] in The Guardian[6], Newsweek[7], Counterpunch[8], The Journal of Population and Sustainability[9], and other sources.[5]
Population Balance has also given presentations at the International Conference on Family Planning in Thailand[10], the University of Denver, and the 2023 Childfree Convention[11], among many others[12] One of PB’s most popular media projects has been its podcast, The Overpopulation Podcast[13], which ranks in the top 1.5% of podcasts worldwide[14].
Pronatalism
PB promotes education on pronatalism. The organization defines pronatalism as “the sociocultural bias favoring biological reproduction, and it leads to unrelenting pressures, primarily on women, to bear children.”[2] It further elaborates that “Pronatalist pressures and norms profoundly undermine authentic choice about one of the most important decisions people make in their lives.”[2] Many of PB’s programs involve discussions of pronatalism, and stress the importance of removing pronatalist barriers from individuals making choices on whether or not to have children. Population Balance encourages free and individual choice on whether or not to have children, and is against any form of coercion.[2]
