Sweet, sweet Malthusianism.

- XorNot 4y agoThis has nothing to do with the article, which is about the natural decline in the number of children per woman, slated to fall below replacement levels in the next 100 years.
- Animats 4y agoBirth rates are already below replacement levels worldwide, and well below it in all but Africa. "Peak baby" worldwide was in 2013. Japan's population peaked in 2017. Outside of Osaka and Tokyo, the country is emptying out. Look to Japan first to see how this plays out. China's population is peaking now. So is the US native-born population.[1] Almost all the population growth worldwide is in sub-Saharan Africa. That region may not survive global warming.

- HideousKojima 4y agoQuite the opposite of Malthusianism, actually. Birth rates in the west have declined in spite of ever increasing capacity to feed the populace.
