  1. meh. There aren’t enough resources for that many people as it is now. The total world population has increased eight-fold (from 1 billion to 8 billion) in just a little bit more than a 100 years. The nature needs equilibrium and solves its problem by itself. Humans will survive anyway.

  2. I don’t want to give ideas, but there is an inverse relationship between the level of freedom and human development of women and the level of birth rate.

    * ↑ More development, ↓ less birth rate.

    * ↓ Less development, ↑ more birth rate.

  3. It is kind of amazing that Israel seems to be the only industrialized country that isn’t dying. I wonder what they are doing differently.

    I can’t find 2025 figures for the GCC countries but it should be noted that migrants have much lower fertility rates compared to natives.

    [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mepo.12712](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mepo.12712)

    The above study includes only natives. Figures for 2020:

    * Oman = 3.5

    * Kuwait = 3.0

    * Saudi Arabia = 2.5

    * Bahrain = 2.0 (below replacement)

    (Morocco’s TFR in 2020 was calculated to be 2.4 in the study so there’s a possibility that GCC countries has also followed this decline)

  5. unpopular opinion but with education and exposure to good lifestyle, people dont have kids for the sake of it. they plan and have 1-2 max because they want to give them the best resources

    the countries where people dont understand this, keep producing kids at mass rate because hey who gives a fuck about proper upbringing. one room, five kids, one mattress. no proper food to eat, just vibes

    i am from an Indian state where 4-5 kids were the norm 30 years ago, but now you’ll be lucky to see more than 2. India has done well in that regard

  6. French Guiana is not a country, it’s an integral part of France and therefore should be the same color as France, just like Alaska is the same color as the rest of the US.

    Crazy ti see how fast we went from thinking about overpopulation to a declining population as the main issue of the future

    I think I’m going to spam every single post I see on my feed that purports to show a map of “countries” but separates French Guiana from France.

    r/whereidlive if I want younger people to take care of me when I’m old. To bad so many of these countries have sub-par medical systems.

  10. Holy crap. If this patern continues for 150 years, like all paterns do, there will only be Africans and indians left.
