- toomuchtodo 15y agoTL;DR The world is getting older, hence less babies born.
- toomuchtodo 15y agoDownvote? For quickly summarizing a wikipedia link? I guess we all have time to waste skimming wikipedia articles, don't we?
- schiffern 15y agoThe problem is that it's wrong. A better summary would be, "The world is getting richer, hence lower infant mortality, hence birth rates drop."
- toomuchtodo 15y agoThe world is graying extremely quickly (Japan, Western Europe, the US, and soon China).
