How will a shrinking population affect the global economy? | Counting the Cost


It has been described as a demographic catastrophe.

The Lancet medical journal warns that a majority of countries do not have a high enough fertility rate to sustain their population size by the end of the century.

The rate of the decline is uneven, with some developing nations seeing a baby boom.

The shift could have far-reaching…

  1. We have twice the people the planet can sustain. Choosing to not have children or adopting those in need and trying to reduce the population is the world's only chance of survival.
    It's not just about humans, we are destroying all the other species too.

  2. "Idiocracy" (2005) is about that. Humanity is doomed because the # of children people have is inversely proporcional to their intelligence level 🙁

  3. Reproduction must be controlled. It is taking a huge toll on the planet and on animal life. Nearly 80 % of all mammals are imprisoned for their flesh. The world has lost nearly 78 percent of other animal life. Over and above this, it makes no sense to bring a new life into this world only to suffer wars, famine, starvation and work to the bone for some corporation and to increase the wealth of others. It is a terrible sin and a burden to place another individual to make them incarnate on a planet where people are worse than our much misused and maligned animals. Why even bother? One has to be a psychopath to create children who will suffer poverty, health issues, bullying, violence and then ultimately death.

  4. This is COMPLETE DISINFORMATION and has ZERO credibility. What a gd LIE.
    The FACTS are that the global population has GROWN and there are nearly 8 BILLION mouths and stomachs on the planet and that has been tending upwards for the last decade. Why in the world are pushing this BS!? 😡
