If current trends continue, Africa will make up 50% of the world population by 2100.
Ofc, I don’t expect that to happen, and expect their birth rate to also drop, especially coastal countries that can become wealthier.
For some reason, the table is not rendering correctly, i post it here again.
As it turns out, the top 10 most populated countires makes up 50% of the world’s 8 billion people.

what’s the drop for china in 1960?
I know “The Great Replacement” and “The Global Population Collapse” are technically conspiracy theories, but holy cow stats like this are hard to overlook
It’s crazy that India’s birth rate is where the US’s was as recently as 2000, despite the fact that India is nowhere near as wealthy as the US was at that time.
Is there a factor other than income that is driving these declines?
Really good – more resources available to more people as the population reduces
Good, less future wage slaves.
All countries in top 10 with higher than replacement rate are Islamic
Good, Earth needs fewer humans.
Plunging is how one would characterize China and India, not the US.
Smart people do not want or need children (downvote all you want it’s fucking true)
Looks like a good trend to me. Too many humans for planet earth now.
Why does this chart end in 2020? It’s 2025. Also these counties are aging why not show something more like fertility rate of women 18-45?
Fertility rates declining are actually one of the signs that a nation is improving. There is an overlap in between undeveloped and developed where the birth rate of the undeveloped era continues into the developed era but as infant mortality drops and economic growth improves, birth rates decline. It’s not always a bad thing to have declining birth rates.
Constructive feedback: remove “Fertility Rate,” from the key; update the colors to match the countries flag. Blue for China instead of US feels weird.
It’s not going to continue declining infinitely, populations will stabilize, economies will get used to not being able to function on the mindset of infinite growth, culture will change and people will be fine. It’s very pathetic to me that countries like China, Japan, and Denmark are so insistent on spending so much time, money, and effort on programs to increase fertility that have universally failed miserably, desperately clinging to this idea of unsustainable economic growth.
Legitimate question bc I’m amateur at best with history.
If birth rates fall, then there are less people. Eventually it should theoretically stabilize and taper off due to resources/space, no? Then, just like when the black plague ravaged Europe and wages were better because they simply didn’t have the labor, even tho life sucked ass it was ‘better’ in regards to average available resources.
This doesn’t factor in pollution affecting reproduction and genetics, with all the SSRIs in the water and microplastics in the balls and brain.
Isn’t using 2020 for fertility rate a bit disingenuous?
Because they’ve poisoned most of the population, stuff costs too much, men are jerks, and everything sucks.
Education and income increases birth rate decreases
