Population going down would not be so bad if it did not also affect the demographics with a higher ratio of older people to young.

They have been saying that about Japan for decades and yet they are still doing just fine - currently third in the World. The dangers of a declining population are no where near as bad as they say - otherwise Japan would be much worse that it is now. Japan's population has been in decline since the 1980s - and yet they are doing just fine - 3rd largest economy in the world - a far more civilised and happy population - costs of living stabilising and no massive property price increases (overall) - readily available resources (medical etc.). Economists are full of over-educated rubbish - a declining population means many good things as above - especially much more stable costs and more available resources and services - plus it means no constant additional need for more and more resources - and no increased costs due to providing new services for all the new people - population growth massively increases the costs, especially of housing in a country with limited land availability. Bringing in 100s of thousands of innapropriate immigrants (non-assimilating) every year has proven to be bad policy for the existing peoples in most western countries - rampant population growth and subsequent economic and taxation growth is not the answer to a sustainable country - in fact it has been a total failure, because there is no problem to solve. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 This article is very misleading. There may be a crisis but it does not appear to be a fertility crisis, it appears to be a desire amongst many to simply reproduce less. The quality of life is declining for many, the ability to earn money is difficult, and people are just simply coming to their senses and not having kids as much as they used to. It's a very, very difficult time to bring kids into this world, and there are a lot of level-headed people that are either deciding not to do it at all, or deciding to just go with one kid. This is happening in many, many countries of the world, except in Africa, where the ancient ways continue. 21 of the 22 nations with the highest birth rates are there. Woe is Africa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's striking how the idea that there are too many people in the world has established itself in the collective mind. How about abolishing the IMF and accords such as the Treaty of Lisbon, which force States to borrow their money from private capital markets with interest, and use the billions thus saved to develop infrastructure and implement natalist policies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the single largest issue that the world faces is overpopulation, the quality of life is declining for every single person on earth as a result of it. A shrinking population is the single most wonderful thing that could possibly happen to this planet. So if the collective consciousness is of the opinion that overpopulation is a problem, that's completely correct. And besides, babies are over rated. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
