Except, it isn’t regulating to 2.2, is it? Many countries are already well below 2.2 and more are falling below that level each year. I assume the population implosion will have some affect on the economy.
- ptdorf 3y ago> population implosion This is the real problem. The planet have resources to sustain 11 billion people. Real wages is consistently declining in the West over the last 50 years, as well incentives to raise children. These economies will stagnate, if not spiral negatively, as less consumers leads to lower financial ability to raise new generations. Not just the west but also China, Japan, South Korea.
