Global Population Decline

It's balance of forces. The population didn't rise forever, it won't fall forever. Even at 50% replacement that takes decades to manifest. The current conditions (overcrowding and a feeling of 'stress' in the population) are temporary. And besides, what problem is it if there's half as many people in the country 50 years from now? It's more space for everyone else. The Black Death is a historic example; living standards improved drastically after the population

“Ever growing world population” - isn’t demographic growth in decline?

Hello. Negative population growth for a while is now baked in to the world's population pyramid. You may now have a good night's sleep. You're welcome.

Isn't this the natural progression of a shrinking population? If you don't want this to happen, have lots of children.

The growth rate is declining:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth#Human_populat...

the world is not in exponential population growth - the rate of growth has been shrinking for two generations. global population decline will happen in my lifetime. the demographic transition happened centuries ago in some countries. fertility rates are falling faster than any of the overpopulation monster-in-the-closet analyses assume, why are you afraid of overpopulation?

It's not actually that unusual for a country to have a shrinking population. Italy, Croatia, Lithuania, and a few other central and Eastern European countries currently have declining populations, as does Japan, some due to ageing and a drop in fertility and some due to that plus emigration. Economically and socially they've not entered into the death spiral some people seem to think will happen and are actually doing alright. Countries with declining populations due to war, economic c

Don't know if you noticed, but in western countries the population is aging, due to a decrease in birth rate/fertility, a decrease in mortality rate and a higher life expectancy, all leading to a sharp decline in population growth. Europe has a Wikipedia page about it, check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_of_EuropePopulation growth is not really exponential, it's rather a

Adjusting economic models? We’re significantly below replacement level. That means population collapse and, eventually, actual extinction. We’re not headed toward a future where we just stop growing. We’re headed for a future where populations shrink by more than 50%. It takes decades to create this problem, and even more decades to fix it.People aren’t paying attention because from a raw numbers perspective our population is growing. But it’s also aging, and eventually people will die and we
