Im curious as to why people are still concerned about over population nowadays.
Most of the „western“ world expects shrinking populations within the next two or do decades. Even huge countries like China aren’t expected to grow anymore.
Based on the data I am aware of, overpopulation won’t be an issue. The shrinking populations however will be an issue considering they’ll have a huge impact on the countries social systems and ability to produce basically anything
- appplication 2y agoIt’s a common mistake, but you’re conflating the state of overpopulation (i.e. too many people in the world) with the rate of change of population. Indeed if the total capacity of the earth was, for example, 2 Billion people, the birth rate could be declining or even 0 for quite some time and we would still be overpopulated.
- muzani 2y agoI think what's being said is overpopulation isn't an issue. Because once you have overpopulation, birth rates decline, and once you have underpopulation, birth rates increase.
