- brabel 3y agoWhy unfortunately? It's not like having 7 kids like in the 60's would take humanity to a very good place either... the fact that a minority of people are content in not reproducing is actually a good thing overall. Even if population decreases for a very long time, we'll still probably be too many for hundreds of years (and at some point you can expect the trend to reverse again).
- xyzzy4747 3y agoIt’s bad for industries and technological growth if you reduce populations. It could also throw the world into socio-political turmoil depending on the demographics. People can also live in outer-space. They don’t have to fill up the Earth (which has a lot of extra capacity regardless).
