What happens in a world where there are way less people to buy and consume in an economy dependent on ever-growing consumption? Our kids and grandkids are about to find out...
Consider that the 2-births-per-woman replacement rate assumes that the genders are balanced which isn't the case in China. Those who were born before the one-child policy began and those after are likely balanced (diluting the true extent of the problem), but those of childbearing age are VERY unbalanced, perhaps as high as 3:1. So for China to be at replacement rate, each woman of childbearing age would need to give birth to 3-4 children to replace herself, her partner, and each male who is unable to find a wife!
The 0-15 cohort is less out of balance than those born earlier since the problem ratio was already quite apparent. Instead of 1.2 to 1 it may be as high as 3 to 1 for those of prime childbearing age. That means the generally accepted replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman wouldn't apply in China since a couple would not only need to replace themselves, but also replace all those males who can't find wives! But the 3-child policy is too little and too late to undo the social damage.
If the estimates that predict China's population gettimg cut in half are accurate, and if the US increases the number of immigrants it takes in, it's possible that by 2100 the US could have almost as many people as China, which would a huge impact on geopolitics.

It's not just China. Every country around the globe is facing the same demographic implosion, at different rates. Urbanization is the crucial factor. It's unavoidable.
are you saying china was wrong to curb it's population growth? After 10 years of famine due to agricultural mismanagement and natural disasters? let's put it into perspective, if China lost 50% of it's population in an instant. The Chinese population, in China alone, equals north and South America combined.
@Rohan like what 1.4 billion, almost 1 fifth of world population is just not enough. look at India, 5th in land mass, 1st in population. 2nd to none in absolute poverty.
@Rohan I respectfully disagree. In the grand scheme of things. Over population is a global problem. in 1950 world population was merely 1 billion. Now it's over 7. competition for natural resources is fearce. food production heavy relies on GMO and chemicals. oceans are depleted of fish stock. More and more "natural" disasters are severe and frequent. I'm curious what the baby boomer generation is in percentage of the world population.
The problem is China is already facing a population decline when the gdp is still relatively low. It's very difficult to increase gdp when population is decreasing at an alarming rate. Look at Japan, 30+ years of stagnation and deflation. Not saying population decline caused the stagnation and deflation, but it made it worse and difficult to reverse.
Then China and the rest of those countries can see Singapore. Singapore's child bearing women only give birth to roughly 1.2 child. This trend has been happening since the 1990s and yet Singapore's population is around 3xs as large as it was in the 1990s.
@@MarcHarder Singapore, USA and Europe have enough migration to offset low birth rates. China and Japan are stuck because they have really low migration rates.
Because having a baby is expensive and by the time you are done with education, you are looking at half millions dollars!. Also, women does not want to stuck with baby at home with major problem in her career. Look at Japan, Korea, Germany and France, more and more women are making more money than men. The sacrifice for women is too much.
Is that a bad thing though? With higher standards of living, better education & infrastructure and longer life spans, having a smaller population would make the sacrifices of the past generations worthwhile in the country's pursuit for economic success. China is already overpopulated and overpolluted as it is - imagine if it didn't slow down the population growth somehow and stabilise/control it. 500-600 million for a country the size of China would make it sustainable and cleaner, with a better paid, better fed and healthier population. True, there'd be less people to tax, but with better wages and higher value industries rather than what it has now, that could make up for it.
Having a low birth rate is bad because it means your country will have more old people than young people. Young people can work and make money, help the economy and the country. Old people can't do that, they don't have the physical capability to be help to their country's economy which is why they end up becoming a liability. There's a reason things like retirement exists. The point I am trying to make is that for a country to have a rapid decline of young people means an absolutely catastrophic disaster, when the Chinese govt noticed how many old people were in their country and how less young people were there, they IMMEDIATELY stopped the one child policy. The reason countries like china and Russia are acting so aggressively is because they know they are in a time bomb. Both these countries have a RAPID decline in young population. Lets take Russian Ukrainian war, even if Russia wins it will still be in a worse position than Ukraine. It's economy is in a very bad shape, the incompetence of its military has been shown to the world and it will probably not be in a good shape, whereas Ukraine will get insane amounts of helps and funding by the west to fix its destroyed lands and economy. The point I am trying to get is that the Chinese one child policy was a disastrous failure because of how it RAPIDLY decreased it's young population and increased its old population.
@@Mapimation That's true. And apparently the CCP has admitted that they have miscounted the young people in the country and there are 100 million less younger people than they had originally counted at the last census. That's really bad because now the decline of the population is worse and much sooner than they'd thought. There'll be less younger people to drive the economy, progress the nation and pay for the older generation of retirees. That will mean that older people cannot retire on schedule but later instead, or their pension will be smaller. Unless China implements automation sooner, there'll be less labour to work in factories, farms, government, military, education, etc. This scenario is what has played out in Russia which is why they have gone ahead with the invasion of Ukraine, because their declining population means they will lose the means of invading and securing (in their minds) their vulnerable borders (the former Soviet states like Ukraine, Poland, etc), much less defending their own country. Add to the fact that their monopoly of oil and gas to Europe was going to be threatened by Ukraine when that country discovered large deposits of oil and gas in 2012 off their coast and in the regions of west and east Ukraine.
Chinas work force is extremly declining which is why I believe for China the 1 child policy was a mistake and this takes China away from the superpower rate actually but the population is declining as intended though there are to many unintended consequences for china
China halving it's population would be a great thing for China. After all, being able to feed it's own people with the food they grow would have to be a great weight lifted from their minds.
They already can do that. The problem is that the majority of its population will be the old and with less and less replacing them, the youth will be forced to take care of their elderly. This hinders innovation and overall production especially when you're trying to move to a consumer based economy.

Mostly, my friends and I don't want to have children as the future seems too uncertain with bad job prospects, out of reach housing markets and climate change destroying huge parts of every day life. Propaganda won't change our minds, but ensuring a safe future for any children we do choose to have might be the only thing to make us reconsider. We've been told our whole lives that the world is over populated, is it any wonder that we thought it irresponsible to have more kids?
You’re gullible and easily manipulated. Selfish too as you have enjoyed all the benefits of society without taking on the responsibility of providing new members within society.
The world *is* overpopulated. But if you live somewhere with a rapidly decreasing population like Europe/Japan, choosing not to have children or only having 1 is borderline irresponsible and selfish. You are essentially dooming future generations doing that.
What about the sustainability issues chinna will have in near term future. Affect on the world's economy. Less younger children equals higher manufacturing cost for computer chips, and medicines. And other exports.

The upside to this is if we can reduce the labour intensiveness of our economy, it'll finally make it possible for average Chinese people to achieve a Western standard of living. 800 million people making $45,000 a year is better than 1400 million making $19,000 a year.

If China and india wants to reduce its population by half, that half of its population should be sent to live in countries like Russia, Alaska, Canada, Argentina, saudi arabia, Australia and Brazil, because in those countries its population is very small compared to its vast and immense territory that should be populated and inhabited 100% of the entire country.

The once majestic land of China, with its sweeping natural beauty and beautiful cities replete with the vestiges of thousands of years of cultural greatness, has destroyed itself with over population and the notion of consumerist driven progress. If the nation (with half or more fewer people) survives to see the world in 50 years, I feel China would then recapture what made it special and great.
Yes you must have done a lot of research and man hours to put this together, all the videos you've done. Very interesting, it's like looking into the future Really though any civilized society should not have more than 3 children, I consider it rather disgusting these days. Large families were needed to farm, to support poor households when the was child labour and just reflections of religious anti-progressive society. If populations decline, then we don't have to worry about food and water shortages.
Propaganda about overpopulation? You never lived in Hongkong, Tokyo, Lagos , Cairo any big city in China or India as non-millionaire? Did you? Let me tell you. It sucks.
Sorry but a birth rate in China of 1.5 to 1.6 births per family is obviously inflated and obviously false. As since 1979, the Communist Party imposed a very draconian one child per family policy on the citizens of China which lasted to the end of 2015. Then on top of that, since the one child per family policy was finally scrapped at the end of 2015, the birth rate in China ever since has dropped to just .75 births per family. Meanwhile, the replacement birth rate for any population to replace itself is a sustained 2.1 births per family. However, China's sustained birth rate for the past 42 years in a row was slightly less than 1 child per family when premature deaths are taken into account. Thus, China's population will be cut by more than half in the next 20 to 30 years and no country, not even China, can withstand the loss of so much population in so little time and survive. As most demographic analysts are expecting China to crash and burn sometime before 2030. Moreover, most demographic analysts claim that the Communist government's census numbers for 2010 and 2020 have been intentionally inflated. As many analysts both from within China and outside of China have pointed out numerous discrepancies that prove it. Thus, most demographic analysts fix China's current population to be around 1.25 billion people today. Indeed, this video is obviously using very bogus data and for that, it gets a down vote from me.
There are some studies that strongly suggest China's actual fertility rate is more like 1.1 or 1.2 and that population decline has already begun. It is quite possible that India is already the most populous nation. This discrepancy, if true, is at least partially due to local municipalities lying about births for funding as well as the national government attempting to cover up the looming crisis. This lower number also makes more logical sense considering how long the one child policy has been in effect (since 1978) and how strictly it was applied.
it seems to me that course it would be around 1.1 because its not the 1 child suggestion policy, its the 1 child we'll fine you to death, force an abortion on you, alienate your second child policy, which was around for 30+ years. for the birthrate to be 1.6 that would mean that on average every woman had a second child, which would further imply that most children would have siblings which you don't see a lot in China anymore and is self evident in not being the case.

Consider that the 2-births-per-woman replacement rate assumes that the genders are balanced which isn't the case in China. Those who were born before the one-child policy began and those after are likely balanced (diluting the true extent of the problem), but those of childbearing age are VERY unbalanced, perhaps as high as 3:1. So for China to be at replacement rate, each woman of childbearing age would need to give birth to 3-4 children to replace herself, her partner, and each male who is unable to find a wife!
@@gtw4546 yes but over all the world's population is still rising. now is at all time high and it's getting higher and higher.
As if Russia and Europe are separate things
The 0-15 cohort is less out of balance than those born earlier since the problem ratio was already quite apparent. Instead of 1.2 to 1 it may be as high as 3 to 1 for those of prime childbearing age. That means the generally accepted replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman wouldn't apply in China since a couple would not only need to replace themselves, but also replace all those males who can't find wives! But the 3-child policy is too little and too late to undo the social damage.
It's impressive that china managed to throw such a huge lead.

@STALIN is that what you would do Stalin or is that what Moa would do trying to impress you 🤔
are you saying china was wrong to curb it's population growth? After 10 years of famine due to agricultural mismanagement and natural disasters?
let's put it into perspective, if China lost 50% of it's population in an instant. The Chinese population, in China alone, equals north and South America combined.
@Rohan like what 1.4 billion, almost 1 fifth of world population is just not enough. look at India, 5th in land mass, 1st in population. 2nd to none in absolute poverty.
@Rohan I respectfully disagree. In the grand scheme of things. Over population is a global problem. in 1950 world population was merely 1 billion. Now it's over 7. competition for natural resources is fearce. food production heavy relies on GMO and chemicals. oceans are depleted of fish stock. More and more "natural" disasters are severe and frequent. I'm curious what the baby boomer generation is in percentage of the world population.
The problem is China is already facing a population decline when the gdp is still relatively low. It's very difficult to increase gdp when population is decreasing at an alarming rate. Look at Japan, 30+ years of stagnation and deflation. Not saying population decline caused the stagnation and deflation, but it made it worse and difficult to reverse.

@@MarcHarder Singapore, USA and Europe have enough migration to offset low birth rates. China and Japan are stuck because they have really low migration rates.

Because having a baby is expensive and by the time you are done with education, you are looking at half millions dollars!. Also, women does not want to stuck with baby at home with major problem in her career. Look at Japan, Korea, Germany and France, more and more women are making more money than men. The sacrifice for women is too much.
Is that a bad thing though? With higher standards of living, better education & infrastructure and longer life spans, having a smaller population would make the sacrifices of the past generations worthwhile in the country's pursuit for economic success. China is already overpopulated and overpolluted as it is - imagine if it didn't slow down the population growth somehow and stabilise/control it. 500-600 million for a country the size of China would make it sustainable and cleaner, with a better paid, better fed and healthier population. True, there'd be less people to tax, but with better wages and higher value industries rather than what it has now, that could make up for it.

@@jasonaricheta3310 Tariffs & levies on imports or natural resources, and automation?
Having a low birth rate is bad because it means your country will have more old people than young people. Young people can work and make money, help the economy and the country. Old people can't do that, they don't have the physical capability to be help to their country's economy which is why they end up becoming a liability. There's a reason things like retirement exists. The point I am trying to make is that for a country to have a rapid decline of young people means an absolutely catastrophic disaster, when the Chinese govt noticed how many old people were in their country and how less young people were there, they IMMEDIATELY stopped the one child policy. The reason countries like china and Russia are acting so aggressively is because they know they are in a time bomb. Both these countries have a RAPID decline in young population. Lets take Russian Ukrainian war, even if Russia wins it will still be in a worse position than Ukraine. It's economy is in a very bad shape, the incompetence of its military has been shown to the world and it will probably not be in a good shape, whereas Ukraine will get insane amounts of helps and funding by the west to fix its destroyed lands and economy. The point I am trying to get is that the Chinese one child policy was a disastrous failure because of how it RAPIDLY decreased it's young population and increased its old population.
I'm so sorry for the long comment😅
@@Mapimation That's true. And apparently the CCP has admitted that they have miscounted the young people in the country and there are 100 million less younger people than they had originally counted at the last census. That's really bad because now the decline of the population is worse and much sooner than they'd thought. There'll be less younger people to drive the economy, progress the nation and pay for the older generation of retirees. That will mean that older people cannot retire on schedule but later instead, or their pension will be smaller. Unless China implements automation sooner, there'll be less labour to work in factories, farms, government, military, education, etc.
This scenario is what has played out in Russia which is why they have gone ahead with the invasion of Ukraine, because their declining population means they will lose the means of invading and securing (in their minds) their vulnerable borders (the former Soviet states like Ukraine, Poland, etc), much less defending their own country. Add to the fact that their monopoly of oil and gas to Europe was going to be threatened by Ukraine when that country discovered large deposits of oil and gas in 2012 off their coast and in the regions of west and east Ukraine.
Amazing video sub
Chinas work force is extremly declining which is why I believe for China the 1 child policy was a mistake and this takes China away from the superpower rate actually but the population is declining as intended though there are to many unintended consequences for china
China halving it's population would be a great thing for China. After all, being able to feed it's own people with the food they grow would have to be a great weight lifted from their minds.
Exactly, it's a great thing. The average wealth will go up for the Chinese!
They already can do that. The problem is that the majority of its population will be the old and with less and less replacing them, the youth will be forced to take care of their elderly. This hinders innovation and overall production especially when you're trying to move to a consumer based economy.

Mostly, my friends and I don't want to have children as the future seems too uncertain with bad job prospects, out of reach housing markets and climate change destroying huge parts of every day life.

You’re gullible and easily manipulated. Selfish too as you have enjoyed all the benefits of society without taking on the responsibility of providing new members within society.
The world *is* overpopulated. But if you live somewhere with a rapidly decreasing population like Europe/Japan, choosing not to have children or only having 1 is borderline irresponsible and selfish. You are essentially dooming future generations doing that.

What does that have to do with demographic collapse of China?
Sorry but a birth rate in China of 1.5 to 1.6 births per family is obviously inflated and obviously false. As since 1979, the Communist Party imposed a very draconian one child per family policy on the citizens of China which lasted to the end of 2015. Then on top of that, since the one child per family policy was finally scrapped at the end of 2015, the birth rate in China ever since has dropped to just .75 births per family.
Meanwhile, the replacement birth rate for any population to replace itself is a sustained 2.1 births per family. However, China's sustained birth rate for the past 42 years in a row was slightly less than 1 child per family when premature deaths are taken into account.
Thus, China's population will be cut by more than half in the next 20 to 30 years and no country, not even China, can withstand the loss of so much population in so little time and survive. As most demographic analysts are expecting China to crash and burn sometime before 2030.
Moreover, most demographic analysts claim that the Communist government's census numbers for 2010 and 2020 have been intentionally inflated. As many analysts both from within China and outside of China have pointed out numerous discrepancies that prove it. Thus, most demographic analysts fix China's current population to be around 1.25 billion people today.
