Many are worried about our falling birth rate. U.S. births fell 4% in 2020, which is the lowest rate since World War II. The rise in the percentage of old people (I’m raising my hand here) will lead to lower productivity and economic stagnation. Maybe.
I believe the world has way too many people, not enough green space, not enough clean water and air. At some point systems reach their carrying capacity. The earth can only absorb so many humans, the species which is rapidly wrecking our planet.
A declining birth rate is something to celebrate.
