Is the world population declining?

  • For decades, environmentalists warned us of the perils of overpopulating the planet. Today, it's quite the opposite. Birth rates are falling, countries are experiencing seismic demographic shifts, and, in some cases, populations have already begun shrinking. Just how dangerous are falling populations?

      @@jsward96 Let's give the provocative answer, no. Reality is that the fruits of the global economy are mostly gobbled up by the rich, the 1% or so. People are far more impacted by economic and welfare policy than the actual economy. Besides that, unlimited economic growth in a limited world is not sustainable. You may debate what level of economic wealth we should strife for, but at some point we have to say enough is enough. The larger the population, the lower that level is for a sustainable economy. We already consume well over the reproductive level of earth. Damaging the environment to have more economic wealth does not increase wellbeing.

The average European population is less than 100 million in most countries. There are countries that do not reach 50 million. Some Western countries are also dying off because there are too many elderly and not enough children and young adults having children.

    Well, the lady brings up AI into the picture. As an America having fled the country almost 6 years ago, this is what I'm afraid of:
    AI and its Impact on Society
    Oct 31, 2023, updated on April 11, 2024
    We must ask ourselves, "What will happen when AI has taken 85% of jobs present in 2020? What will we do? How will we eat and survive without incomes from jobs or other means?" What is disturbing is that while AI is taking these jobs, the gov't and the corporations have not done ANYTHING to prepare us for an AI'ed civilization. They have not said anything about major retraining of an entire economy to something else, and they have not followed up on a discussion of universal basic income. This is supposedly supported by a lack of information in the latest government budgets submitted and approved as reported by some RUclips videos.
    It appears that the US gov't and the corporations intend to kill off the majority of Americans passively, through starvation from lack of income to buy food. (check and see if farming production is declining or will start to decline ahead of the "starvation phase") (also check to see if the "makeup" of robot equipment allocation would change to reflect a trend away from retail and services for the masses, possibly indicating an extinction of the American public - this means taking a robot from Chipotle and repurposing it for some other job not related to the public, or scrapping affected robots to be remade for some other purpose that has nothing to do with the public) It appears that the decline of farming has already started with the state of Maine buying farm land under the pretext that there are "forever chemicals" present at around 20 parts per TRILLION (safe level is said to be only 4 parts per TRILLION), which does not make sense, BUT this would rope in a LOT of land across the US. Other states may follow suit in addition to the ten states that have similar laws in place.
    This way, there are only enough people alive to get some things done, and the rest is done by AI, and the survivors who planned this can claim the whole country for themselves. Imagine having an estate mansion half the size of a mall on several dozen thousand acres of land, and robots would be used to maintain and clean the estates and do the farming FOR THE ESTATE OWNERS. The White Man's wet dream of civilization. What will the Native Americans south of the US border do when they see this coming, especially when they can buy firearms legally now? Hopi prophecy...

    A lot of people are focussing on the overall population who think that it is only the total number being too high which is the problem.
    Yes, a large total population does put a strain on the environment through greater consumption. However, the biggest problem in the near future is that the age ratios in many of these countries will get misaligned. Many countries around the world will reach a situation where the number of retirees is not supported by a large enough number of workers.
    In most developed countries the largest portion of government expenditure goes towards helping to pay for retirement pensions and to pay for medical systems which are disproportionately used by the elderly.
    As the numbers of elderly increases relative to the number of workers/tax payers the economic strain on the workers increases.
    Governments will need to both raise taxes on those working while also raising the retirement age and cutting expenditure on the elderly in some way.
    It is also possible that the coming AI and robotic revolution will reduce some of the strain by making a lot of labour infinitely cheaper.
    The future will be interesting.

    People are having fewer children primarily due to urbanization. Once you live in a town/city, it doesn’t feel like you “need“ children. Your life will be more or less the same, whether you have children or not. It’s basically a free-rider problem as it’s in everybody’s interest that somebody has kids, but it’s very expensive to be the one having them.
    I would be in favor of much greater government subsidy to families with children, paid for by slightly higher taxes on people without children. Theoretically, that should have an “evening out” effect where having kids will not be as expensive as not having them.

In addition to that, we don't use public schools. And since we live in a state without school choice, I am responsible for the full cost of their education. This actually saves childfree people tax dollars because you'd have to pay more if we used more government resources. About 15% of children don't attend public schools.

The average European population is less than 100 million in most countries. There are countries that do not reach 50 million. Some Western countries are also dying off because there are too many elderly and not enough children and young adults having children. India is trying to send off its population globally so that it increases its soft power and has more influence and leverage in other countries just like the Chinese have done for a long time, sending their population to populate and infiltrate other country's society, institutions, businesses, military, and government in their favor.

    A very one sided discussion focused on economy/power. Reality is that eternal population growth is not sustainable, we already use resources well beyond the reproductive capacity of earth. This has to go down, this can only be achieved by increased efficiency and/or declining population. Economic growth, though maybe needed to give decent living standards to the poor, only adds to the environmental problems. Redistribution of wealth may very well be a much better solution for that. With respect to economic growth, we should also have the discussion about how much is enough. Eternal growth in a limited world is not possible. With fewer people we can have higher living standards, so look at gdp/capita instead of gdp. AI creates the possibility that a lot of tasks can be fully automated, and consequently explode gpd/worker. Declining population isn't a big deal for the economy in such a world.
    I also miss futures prospects in the considerations to take kids, you just talk economics. From what I hear, not necessarily representative, most young people forego kids because they are fed all kinds of doom scenarios and feel they don't want to put kids in the world to live through the apocalypse.
