According to the Pew Research Center, 44% of non-parents aged 18 to 49 say it's "not too" or "not at all" likely they will ever have children.Follow NBC10 Bo...

Birth rates have dropped 20% since 2007. I don’t think we ever came back from the '08 crash. It’s just been smoke and mirrors.

    It’s already insufficient for maintaining population in half of the world

    And the other half of the world is meeting the gap.

    Under current conditions, continual population growth will lead to collapse at some point.

    This is not in an ecofascist way, just the nature of compound growth. For example, projecting the 1995 global fertility rate out to 2150 results in a human population of ~250 billion.

    I think it’s an issue that would be addressed by socialism regardless.

      It wouldn’t for much longer, birth rates there decline too.

      Under current conditions, continual population growth will lead to collapse at some point.

      Yeah, but we are going to switch to population decline in 10-20 years.

      For example, projecting the 1995 global fertility rate out to 2150 results in a human population of ~250 billion.

      We already have smaller global fertility rate and it continues to decline. Linear extrapolation and its consequences and so on.

      I think it’s an issue that would be addressed by socialism regardless.

      Soviet Union and other socialist countries had only partial solution. In fact, we can look at Korea with DPRK having a 1.9 fertility rate (and this is already less than replacement rate) and RoK with 0.7 fertility rate (which is a complete disaster long term, and it keeps declining).
