How Populations Grow and Change: Crash Course Geography #33


Is the world overpopulated or underpopulated? While we worry about there being too many people for the planet to support, we can also worry about how fewer people in a given place may affect the economy, what may happen when there are more elderly people who need care than there are healthcare workers, or even be concerned about how many people…

  1. The population number is not the only concern.

    It's who is actually here on this earth. Do they want to work with people and resolve this stuff? Or do they want to antagonize people?

    When there's cooperative people: You have peace.

    If not: The place turns into a backwater community.

  2. I hope everyone involved in the content, narration, and those who support de popping earth are the ones to lead by example. And, if you took your govt's advice, you took the requisite meds to do just that. In fact, I wonder how many of those who commented in 2021 are still alive vs now dead.

  3. i wonder if this four stages are actually that accurate, i mean this things should change from one country ro another and can be affected by the region cultural values and religion, as in Islam where people believe that god himself will take care of the resources for every kid born. 🧐

  4. I think it would be beneficial to study why more educated women don't want to bare children. My suspicioun is that they're not supported enough by the local policies and just see that it would not be a good move financially, even if they'd like too. Please expand on this topic.

  5. In Islamic countries, policies are not laid with help of 'population geographers'. In Egypt of 1960's the population was 30M . The state launched propaganda campaigns to use birth control, but the clergy stood firmly against! They argued that birth control meant weak faith and a crusade against Islamic nations. And why would Europeans not resort to such methods?! Also, farmers needed help from their children on the field and considered education a loss of time and money. Such rhetoric brought about the dire situation we have in Egypt now with a population around 100M ! The president has relinquished all responsibility to improve the economic situation, blaming it all on the people who 'keep breeding'. Of course he affords to say so in the (free democracy & elections) that we so much enjoy in Egypt

  6. The economic impact of having versus not having children is something to consider. In order to keep the 1% where they are, everyone else must continue to fight over resources. Makes people wonder if bringing children into this neverending cycle (not to mention the havoc we wreak on the planet itself) is even worth it… Won't AI be in total control in the next 100 years anyway??
