Most Extreme Cases of Human Depopulation in History
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- What are the most extreme cases of human depopulation for a given region in history? Although it has long been thought by sociologists that the human population of the planet is in dire straits of growing exponentially to the point of mass overpopulation, demographic analysis has proven this beyond a shadow of a doubt to be false. Although many areas are still growing, other nations and regions have a depopulation crisis currently brewing and only expected to get worse in the future.
Today, we will be looking at some cases of historic and future depopulation, wherein humans either stop having children, or participate in mass migration to a foreign land (either willingly or unwillingly). This video is not meant to offend anyone from any given country but simply to discuss the reality of the situation for many regions in the past, present and future. Thanks for watching!

Bulgaria's case is described as "the worst demographics crisis in the world" by UN
Ye, being the most corrupt country in the EU, does that to you.
@@mr.p215 well tbh corruption is only part of the problem , because even if we eliminated corruption , which is impossible anywhere in the world. In terms of local migration , villages being abandoned , people moving to the city , those areas are historically screwed... after communists destroyed agriculture , a lot of people were forced to move to the city, which broke a very important link , even when these people got their land back they don't know what to do with it and just rent it , which doesn't provide life to said village, where in places like italy there's generations upon generations working on a farm lets say , and they're perfectly happy doing so. That's not possible in Bulgaria. Everyone has it in their dna that they have to move to a bigger city . And as for educated people leaving , a huge fault is at universities. It's far too easy to get into a university and it's far too easy to graduate, the market is absolutely oversaturated with certain types of professions.... so much that for some professions it's absolutely guaranteed you won't be able to find work.

Hi Masan,
Bulgarian here. Saw my country in the thumbnail and since I love your channel, I thought that this is a must-watch content and indeed it is.
I can't really say whether mass depopulation worldwide is a good thing or a bad thing (yet) although I find it worrying.
My country suffers from depopulation greatly. And that has reflected economically too - not enough workforce to stay and contribute. So much so that there are certain areas where there just aren't enough hospitals to take care of the few remaining elderly people in some cities and towns. It has become unattractive for many young people because of the lack of well paid job opportunities that have remained in some places.
I used to live in Slovakia for 2 years, tried to adapt but had some difficulties. Loved my time there in a way, but luckily, there was a better job offer in Bulgaria and I had decided to go back in my own country. Best decision ever! After several months of having to re-adapt, I actually stopped considering migrating ever again. Think it's more important to preserve my own language, identity and well, it's easier to make a good, humble living without someone treating you like a cheap labour price tag which is something I came to realize while working abroad.
This is absolutely true, I am the native of one of the countries mentioned and it saddens me to see my country undergo such insane demographic downturn.
I feel very much where you are coming from. My parents immigrated to Canada because of Kosovo war and it pains me that we cannot go back. I am currently working so that I can live in Serbia again. I cannot bare to think of what my ancestors suffered for this land just for our own people to forsake it and leave. I wish you all the best in your journey.
@@VojvodaSloboda I think that multiculturalism is making many people sick and most want to live amongst their own people.

Speaking of the Irish and British: "They speak the same language, right?"
Me: Yes, because the British conquest made the Irish language (a celtic language) go almost completely extinct being replaced by English (a Germanic language)
psssh stop being so divisive, it's all Indo european baby! besides, that's what Indo europeans do! assimilate other IE populations, this can even be seen in the conquest of ireland from the mainland celts and so on.
@@logancoolgamer-zn7yu Aight, so, if I understand well, you're telling me it's ok to almost interily erase the language of a people, one of the most defining features of a given culture, as long as its replacement is in the same super-family of languages and there's a precedent.
English isn't even fully Germanic. It is, at best, a Latin-Germanic creole.
Can add other Celtic languages too such as Gaelic of the Scots etc...
It's even more mixed than that, the Norman (Norman being a distinct French dialect) influence was far more pronounced back when people pronounced the loan words in a way vaguely similar to how they were meant to be spoken, the British also took words from basically everyone they ever came into contact with so there are Hindi, Celtic, Arabic and many many other words mixed in with little rhyme, reason or uniformity beyond being horrifically mispronounced. Nordic languages also had a big impact as did Greek (mostly only dating back to the romanization of the language in from the Georgian period onwards).
The predictions of population increase and mass starvation in Paul Erlich's book "The Population Bomb" did not occur as Erlich did not consider the dramatic fall in population growth that occurs with increases in education levels. Agricultural productivity has also greatly increased in a manner that he didn't predict as technical developments have increased productivity.
Productivity has increase but at the expense of a decline in quality. Soil degradation and force-feeding caged up animals with industrial feed isn't exactly the same as when small scale farmers produced their own food. Technical developments only kicked the can down the road it didn't solve the problem. The fact is, we live on a finite planet and unless Elon Musk finds other habitable planets in the next few decades, we have to manage our population. Which looks like we're already doing, albeit indirectly
Increased agricultural productivity is just delaying the problem
@@jamesricker3997 Which problem? The human population decreasing in the next 50 years?
@@jamesricker3997 I wouldn't say that because technology is always improving. The growth rates assumed by Erlich assumed a static productivity rate. He was also wrong about growth rates, so the problem doesn't really exist as he defined it.
@@attysthoughts3253 The population growth problem has never existed as Erlich projected. The proportion of arable land needed to feed more people has actually fallen. The best population growth control method is to increase education and income levels, as China has experienced. Their One Child program cut population growth so dramatically that there is a shortage of young people of working age required to support the aging population. A shortage of women also exists as so many female babies were aborted by families wanting a male as their one child. So the population alarmists were not only wrong with their projections, but their solutions have proven problematic.
The "triple allianz war" (Paraguay vs Brazil, Argerntina and Uruguay) in 1864 made Paraguay lose 50% of it's population. After that war, the women to men ratio was 5 to 1. The paraguayan women had to rebuild the country.

Romania is by far.
In Industrialized countries it's just too expensive for most people to have more than two children, add to that the fact that both parents will need to work and time becomes a factor also, recent reports I have seen showed young Chinese (who are being encouraged by the state to have more kids), citing the above reasons for not having more, or maybe any children.

Although, I think there is some truth to your statement, one might argue that poorer regions have much higher fertility rates; look at Bangladesh and Kenya. It almost seems as if the number of newborn children is antipropotional to their affordability.

In my area the population has been swelling immensely. The forest and farms in the region have been going down in swaths to make way for urban expansion.

Hey Masaman, love your videos honestly have learnt so much from your videos!

Often we hear about Australian Aboriginal people being one but in reality they're were over 300 languages and so many different cultures that I'd love to know the differences between them.
Thanks again your an absolute legend in the RUclips scene.
I live in a region that lost 40% of its population between 1990 and 2020 because of mass emigration and low birth rates and this is terrible. Have more children, or we'll both share memories of wandering around abandoned houses.

Hey man, you okay? Just checking since you haven't posted in a while.
Germany lost about ⅔ of it's population during the Black Death 1349-52. More than 50% of all villages were abandoned during these years an never settled again. Sometimes you can find traces of their ruins somewhere in the forest or fields.
300 years later, Germany lost about half its population in the Thirty Years War 1618-48, with most of the rest uprooted or expelled from their villages.
Depressing to see many historical countries like in Europe and Asia disappearing like that in terms of their populations.
While native population is indeed disappearing, the overall world population is higher than in the past centuries, there is a lot of room for speculation on any side. Especially since non democradic goverments like China and Russia provide false data on their population.
20th-18th century's europe population was obviously lower than modern for example, because of obvious wars and the lack of immigrants. Now you could say it's higher than it's ever been, so even if it drops a little there isn't much of an issue.
However if we take specific countries that lose population due to more extreme circumstances, like Ukraine, because it has territories occupied by Russia and also in a state of war with it, that is something to worry about for real. A democratic country losting population due to the war with a dictatorship regime (That mimics itself as a democracy) should be an emergency call for all civilized world.
@@mehwhatever9726 it isn't the totalnumber of people in any given area that matters,but the genetic and culture makeup. Humans and the various cultures are NOT interchangeable.
The extinction of even one is a loss to all.
@@lunaflamed That's some nazi level bullship right there, any population is the same, except it takes a period of time to adapt to the new culture rules. That's how every culture was formed to begin with, it was never monolite. How many ethnics and cultures were fused together to create english for example? Celts, romans, anglo-saxons, norse, it's always a cocktail!
If people want to adapt and given adequate measures to do so, they will. Of course there will be issues with some groups/individuals, but that's why immigrants should be selected more carefully and introduced to foreign cultural values first and foremost. Excessive immigration politics make it harder to manage and result in more conflicts, but on the other hand it was always like that, in the good old times, when ethnic conflicts were far more exterime. It will take a century or two for everyone to adapt. That is if you look at it patiently.
In a world where people can travel wherever they want the cultural borders are less and less relevant, of course it doesn't mean natives should be force-accumulated, every culture is equally valuable (Unless it's agressive on other cultures). This process is natural and inevitable, it simply means a new culture is forming, though there is always a room for improving it.

I could see fertility rates rebounding to replacement levels or higher. There's no way to predict the future in the mid to long term, contrary to what the charts might forecast. Humanity tends to become more adaptable when crises hit a fever pitch, and addressing aging and fertility is becoming a policy priority for regions heavily afflicted. In the short term, however, the depopulation trend is becoming its own distinct pathology, over-urbanization, automation and debt seem to be big drivers.
You may be right but I would offer a counter point.
I think that the way of living in large families is something that is passed on by experience, learned by imitation. I don't think that someone raised as a single child would choose to have many children. On the contrary they are more likely not to have children than those raised in a large family.
The culture and not the government seems to control the factors that motivate someone to have children.
Also consider that in African countries women are having their first child in their late teens. In Western countries the average age is close to double that.
I'd agree that there is a tendency to replicate the familiar, but why assume that family size preferences only head in one direction. Also, I'd say that culture and policy are both part of the requisite milieu to push a trend in either direction. Regarding Africa, though family sizes are large in Sub-Saharan Africa, it's still trending downward there too. I'm some what of the Julian Simon's mindset, ergo pro-growth. I don't think the species can continue to advance technologically without a positive population growth rate. We'll collectively age into a selfish gerontocracy.
Sperm counts are drastically down in developed nations also, and other aspects of fertility are also waning.
Despite compounding covariates, such as declining sperm counts, children-per-woman seems to be leveling out at just below replacement levels in many developed regions. Interestingly, some countries are seeing their CPW figure slightly increase (see link below). So, I don't think that the challenges posed by diminished sperm counts or other issues are insurmountable. Incentives for larger family sizes, increased research and development for fertility treatments and cultural messaging that encourages family formation could push post-industrialized humanity above replacement levels. It has to be a priority though, and it is becoming more so everyday. It's probably a good time to start investing in companies that specialize in fertility treatments. ourworldindata.org/grapher/children-per-woman-UN?tab=chart&country=DEU~JPN~ISR~MAC~BRA~SGP~RUS

I hate when people in the west talk about deciding to not have kids to 'help save the planet from overpopulation' or whatever, when in the west - Europe, Japan, South Korea, America etc. and now even China, we're in a demographic crisis - people aren't having nearly enough kids and this is leading to all sorts of problems that will only get worse with time. Europe's population is drastically shrinking and the problems of an ageing population are only just about being put off for now by supplementing with immigration.
Overpopulation is a problem, but this is only in the developing world - India, Africa etc. not in the developed world, where we have the opposite issue.
Exactly, population decline in Bulgaria isn’t going to fix overpopulation
exactly why we need Pronatalism
I really enjoy your videos and watch them often. I think the other thing to add to the deep population is the decrease in fertility rate which is estimated at dropping about 15% per generation. At that rate it’ll only take two or three generations before it will be difficult to actually conceive children. Currently this is mostly male fertility that is being lost, The cost is not truly understood. Perhaps sometime you can talk about that
Thanks for your programs
Yeah the numbers, numerals, statistics, estimates, estimations, calculations, graphs, charts, and measurements are dwindling and decreasing in so many diasporas
A really interesting albeit smaller example is the population decline of New York City during coronavirus. Between March and May of last year (2020) 420,000 people left. In only two months, they lost hundreds of thousands of residents.
It’s unknown whether the city will bounce back fully or not. The city was shrinking for the few years before coronavirus, and many people were considering leaving before the pandemic. Many of the people who have left have bought homes elsewhere at this point.
And with the rise of remote work, there’s significantly less incentive for people, especially professionals, to live in the city.

Why wouldn't this end well?
@@krumbleme2 Mabye because of the replacment of the native population of Europe and Asia???
Those stats about Ireland's population were horrifying. What a tragedy.
Well They are in the top 20 i think
@@praisethesun.praisedeussol6051 That's why the Irish always step up to help peoples around the world who seem to be taking it on the chin.
Minimum replacement birth rate: 2.1
EU birth rate: 1.53
Canada birth rate: 1.47
USA birth rate: 1.70
Russia birth rate: 1.50
Australia birth rate: 1.66
Israel birth rate: 3.00
Russia is actually at 1.8 now.
Where ya at bro?
In regards to Ireland, it's climate is on average around 10c+ lower than most of Europe over the summer months. The slightest drop in global temperatures renders all food crops but grass for cattle to fail and in the case of the Irish famine, in the decades running up to it Ireland's population had doubled. Temperature drop, blight, rapid population growth and a level of mismanagement.
Anyone wonders why Masaman doesn't make any videos since this video?
Yes
He's making the racial map of asia
A point of note about Polish emigration from Lithuania. These Poles did not return to their country of origin. Areas around Vilnius and adjacent Belarus had large Polish populations for centuries. They may have moved to Poland, but Poland was not their country of origin.
Are you okay bruv ?
your content is fire. love how the production quality has improved over the years. (especially the audio! watched a 2017 video where there was an echo in the background; and voice is not as clear.)
Here um Brazil we are in a terrible spot. Until WWII Brazil was basically an agrarian poor country, but with our industrialization on the 50s, 60s and 70s and the modernization of the country our population exploded from 40M in 1940 to 210M in 2010. But since the 80s the growth slowed down and since the 2000s people simply don’t have sons anymore. Brazil’s population is predicted to grow to 230M in 2050 and then drop. Our population is already getting very old, and because we are a poor country, we don’t know how to deal with this problem
You should watch acts 17 apologetics and pfander films and dcci ministries and christian prince and cira international and shamounian on RUclips channel and watch all the videos on RUclips vinicius 😀😀😀
Hey Masan!!!!!!! Where are you?????? Hope you are doing well, you haven’t uploaded a video in five months!!!!!!! Hope everything is alright with you!!!!!!
Amen🙏🙏
Hello there. Where are you at? It has been awhile...
With technological deflation expanding exponentially from the “barely noticeable” phase to the “holy Hell” phase, we are going to run out of jobs around the same time we are running out of people to staff them. Convenient.
One day I believe all Bulgarians will go back to Bulgaria to live, prosper, along with raising smart and educated children. I came to the USA with my parents, when I was only four years old. However, I kept crying that my heart was right in Bulgaria with my grandparents, so thankfully they sent me to live in Bulgaria for five months. My grandparents took absolute great care of me, and it kept me closer to my culture. My grandparents had more time to teach me the importance of our traditions, and took me to the Orthodox church in our village often. Then my mom came to Bulgaria, while pregnant with my sister, so we could fly back to America. We’ve been in America for fourteen years now, and I’m completely done with the extremely tedious, anti-social life. I myself can’t imagine how grateful I am to my mother for taking me to Bulgarian school at our church, every single Saturday. As a Bulgarian language arts teacher, she helped me incredibly a lot as well as my baba (grandma), when she flew to America a few times. As a Bulgarian girl one of my biggest dreams, is to go back to live in Bulgaria. Many of my friends and family have gone back to live in Bulgaria. I met this guy on social media, and we have been dating for nine months now. He was born right in the town I was born in, and lives in Bulgaria. One day I’m hoping to go study, get married to him, be the happiest couple ever, have many beautiful children, and live happily ever after! Bulgaria is the one and only home, for every single Bulgarian. It’s where my family and I belong. For me it’s heaven on earth, because there is no other place 🇧🇬❤️ !
Btw masa hows your ethnic map going?
Does he have mods? I knew he did with the subreddit and the discord before it was dissolved. Does anyone actually have a way of updating what the situation is? I assume it is over, whatever the situation is, but it would be nice to have the final bit of closure.
He’s back but he looks like he’s busy doing work

Is he alive?

U good?
I like dense population. I live in Taipei and an from Estonia. I’d say, more people means more fun as long as they are all good and look after each other. And most of all, have enough food and water.
Yeah, socializing with friendly people every day is a great way to live.
Talking about the 1600's might be an idea as they had the 30 years war, deluge, time of troubles, French wars of religion, English civil war, invasions of Hungary and more with the first two killing about a 1\3 of the respective populations (so worse than what they got in WW2 proportionately), it becomes clear why Thomas Hobbes idea of innate human evil struck a cord as the majority of the casualties were from small war, so from the individual actions of soldiers given power to act as they wished without consequence.
Where are you? We miss your videos?
Same, I hope he didn't give up on his world map.
This is happening in Albania too. In 2000 the population used to be 3.1 million, now its 2.8 million and decreasing.
Would love to see a video on pre-industrialization human depopulation, especially the Mongols in central Asia. I know there's a lot of debate surrounding the destruction they caused, with entire cities like Samarkand being systematically wiped out.
Are you ok man?
what on earth happened to Masaman?
He takes a massive break so like four months

@Masaman You could also include the fall of the Ottoman empire, where during WW1 it lost nearly 4 million people, or 13% of the population before it's collapse. This devastating depopulation ultimately lead to it's fall as a government organization
Love your work. My father's lineage is from Gottschee Austria 1330-1941. Today modern Slovenia. From Gottschee Austria to NY during 1900s
At age 61, I grew up with the fear of world overpopulation. If the data presented here are accurate, it’s reassuring that the trend towards a population explosion will be stabilized or reversed. In this age of enormous, unsustainable, resource consumption, a significantly larger world population would be unsupportable.
Yep.
what about the third world? lowkey i would nuke half of Africa ngl

2020: 3 280 000

7:16 there is a mistake, most Ukrainian immigrants go to Poland not Western Europe(although there is also considerable Ukrainian migrant population there). Ukrainians are the largest immigrant community in Poland and there is around 1 to 1.5 millions of them here(they vary from seasonal workers to ppl that have stable job, flat and family) but the data about them isn’t really available in English. And even the polish data is a rough estimate not a thru out survey
The most important reason for their preference of Poland over other countries is the proximity and easiness of getting a work visa in Poland in comparison to for example Germany
Estonian and other Finno Uralic Turanian the Liivs, Ingers, Veps, Karilians, Kimi, Mari, Mansi etc.
Also suffered large population losses and continue loosing losing population losses with both economic and political under Russian subgatation reasons.
History shows that when one populace leaves or becones extinct another takes over their spot.
About half of Russians living in the north have Finno-uralic ancestory. Slavic and Finno-uralic people were mixing for thousands years.
@@Imaxxd22
Yes DNA testing has shown that to be so. Just as many different peoples have mixed thtoughout history.

Voluntary depopulation literally solves a raft of problems, including the impending effects from automation and stress on the environment.
Africa and Asia would benefit from that

Still a low number compared to paraguy in the triple alliance war or germany in the 30years war
Masaman, we truly miss you! The show must go on.
I gave this video a thumbs just because you said I am legend is a good film.
I haven't seen many comments about the role of women's education and access to the workforce and birth control being a major contributor to declining birthrates. With two salaries, many parents no longer have to rely on children to bring in income or to later become social security for their parents. Women who pursue education and work tend to have children later and cut back on their fertile years. And with birth control, women can choose when and how many children they have. Although there will always be people who want big families (3+ children), the vast majority seem to NOT desire (or feel they have the resources for) a lot of children. It's a wonderful freedom to have, and I am very grateful to be a woman born in a time and place where I could get an amazing education, build a fulfilling life and career for myself, and choose when/if/how I want to raise children.
I wish you luck
You make a great point though I don’t believe a solution to the problem would be to revert back but to put in place better safety nets for mother’s and make having kids a more viable option in today’s fierce work place
@@gringocolombian9919 Absolutely! Family/parental leave for both men and women is the next step in many countries like the U.S. that we are currently fighting for. It's key for improving quality of life for families, and for making it easier to raise a family (if you choose to).
Love ur vids Masa It’s good that u are uploading more
People will be fine. We might not have the luxuries of today, but they were always temporary anyway. Imagine in 100 years, "people used to have it so good they killed themselves by eating too much and not working hard at all!"
Very interesting. About 5 million Norwegians immigrated to the US.
The population of modern day Norway is also about 5 million.
Their population has not been necessarily shrinking.
How would you explain that?
The german expelees were not allowed to return as far as i know. Actually 20% of germans have refugee/expellee ancestry. From what i was able to figure out millions more arrived after the 1950 because they were held back (essential workers) or were deported to the soviet union and the survivors then allowed to leave the labor camps.
1.000 views in just 17 minutes... Good job, Masaman
really good video, but if you read this comment then you should consider raising the audio level a little bit because its lower than other videos for people with quiet speakers
Where the hell is Mason gone bro I saw a a comment saying he’s in rehab
China's birthrate is halving itself every generation and is projected to decline even further in the decades to come. It's a main reason why China is so aggressive currently in order to consolidate as much power before the demographic shift.
Well i think They stooped the one Chile Police recently and allowe ether 2 ore 3 Kids
Yeah rip china
@@gugashmazari7816 good riddance, their government is pretty evil.

Your audio on this video is very quiet. I had to turn up my volume to the max to hear you, which made the mid-video ad way too loud.
I’m sorry certain people say this like the the Rockefeller s , you know EUGENICS, it’s still very popular now especially now. A lot of us have their number now
