This is a problem of broken economic models that assume infinite population growth. Not a problem of “societies” or of “survival”. Economics will need to change and hopefully we will reach a global population level that is more sustainable.
Here’s a thought: in the mid-1970s the global population was half what it is today. Did the world desperately need double the population it had back then or was society doing just fine?
