Reminds me of Amdahl's Law... There will always be a pyramid that has more people on the bottom (i.e. increasing the population), and the reproductive tendencies of the minority of the population are mathematically insignificant. But let's assume you meant to refer to the general availability of modern goods/services, which is indeed increasing for everyone on the pyramid. I don't have the numbers there, but I believe cultural changes / improvements in birth control with voluntary adoption / technology could slow the tide, but we're still animals driven by evolution. This isn't a characteristic that will be going away anytime soon.
- oblio 10y agoUN statistics prove that fertility rates are going down around the world. Even the lowest of the low will reach fertility rates around the replacement rate of 2.1 by 2050. Yes, the population will increase until 2010 by most estimates, but it will increase at a decreasing rate. And if as animals driven by evolution we have 1-2 kids per couple we still achieve our evolutionary goal while maintaining balance with nature.
