tintorySingapore's baby bust: Record low births in 2023 deepen demographic crisis
I wish it was the same ale over the world, we are too fucking many as it is!
We are experiencing record low birthrates globally, so rejoice!
Doubt it, in the last 20 years we grew from 7 billion to 8. When that number goes to 4 I will be happy!
megane-kunBoth can be true, that we’re experiencing record low birth rates globally and that the global population is still increasing at the moment.
How?
These two factors, especially decades earlier, mean that population hasn’t yet fallen. However:
This means that if I don’t produce offspring, my non-existent offspring will not produce babies. The less babies are produced, the older the population would be, and the higher the death rate will be. If current trends continue, the death rate will overtake the birth rate, and the population will shrink.
Outside of a worldwide disaster that kills off people of child-bearing age, population will still rise before it levels off and then fall off as more and more people find less and less appealing to raise children. This is just a consequence of us humans as a whole making offspring at a certain age (say, 20 years old).
Ok then we talk in 50 years and if the population is still above 4 billion I still will have a problem with this!
If you have such a problem with too many people existing, do something about it. IDK.
I’m a nobody on the internet do I look like I got access to all the nuclear codes or something ? Simply put I can’t you can’t and no one can!
