Although I agree that the human population will decline in the next two centuries at some point (mainly due to wars and even mandatory birth control policies), don't think for a second that the current over population is because of human labor demand. I would attribute that to people loving having sex, better access to medicine and not enough education about the consequences off not using a form of birth control.
- rimliu 8y agoI think you are more likely to see much more policies directed to encourage having children than "mandatory birth control". While only a few countries remain with a very high reproduction ratio, and it drops down wast with economic development. You can see some lectures by Hans Rosling on the topic. If anything underpopulation will be way more pressing issue than overpopulation.
