16 million people in a country smaller than New Jersey that is arid, has limited water, etc seems like a lot. Population growth rates often slow down when young

16 million people in a country smaller than New Jersey that is arid, has limited water, etc seems like a lot. Population growth rates often slow down when young people are crammed into apartments even if they are very religious. Curious if the models predict this
- ImJamal 3y ago>has limited water Is this really a risk? They get 85% of their drinking water from desalination and since Israel is on the Mediterranean running out of water doesn't seem likely.
- salad-tycoon 3y agoYeah, or if I were an expanding yet constricted population I would think “instead of contract we will expand, and find an addition” i.e. so many people will need more land. That’s the normal human response, not “so many people we need to contract and subtract.”
