Toxic Demography

Ideology and the Politics of Population
Book • 2025
In Toxic Demography, Jennifer D. Sciubba, Michael S. Teitelbaum, and Jay Winter examine the entanglement of population dynamics with identity politics.

The book critiques how demographic data on fertility, decline, and aging are selectively used to support narratives on migration, family policies, and societal cohesion.

It traces historical roots of population politics and highlights how scientific insights are often overshadowed by ideologically charged rhetoric amplified by social media.
