You should be aware that fertility rates have plummeted to below replacement rate in almost every developed country. The fertility rate in the US is currently 1.8 children per woman, meaning that if not for previously higher fertility rates in the past and immigration, the population in the US would be decreasing over time.

- cjbprime 10y agoYes. This will definitely happen (more than it already is), because developed countries aren't producing enough children to take care of their aging local population.
