Long Slide Looms for World Population, With Sweeping Ramifications

All over the world, countries are confronting population stagnation and a fertility bust, a dizzying reversal unmatched in recorded history that will make first-birthday parties a rarer sight than funerals, and empty homes a common eyesore....

...Like an avalanche, the demographic forces β€” pushing toward more deaths than births β€” seem to be expanding and accelerating. Though some countries continue to see their populations grow, especially in Africa, fertility rates are falling nearly everywhere else. Demographers now predict that by the latter half of the century or possibly earlier, the global population will enter a sustained decline for the first time.

US Census Bureau projections:

The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.

The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.

The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.

The nation’s total population would cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million in 2060.

The proportion of the population younger than 18 is expected to change little over the 2012-2060 period, decreasing from 23.5 percent to 21.2 percent.

In 2056, for the first time, the older population, age 65 and over, is projected to outnumber the young, age under 18/

The working-age population (18 to 64) is expected to increase by 42 million between 2012 and 2060, from 197 million to 239 million, while its share of the total population declines from 62.7 percent to 56.9 percent.

The ratio of males to females is expected to remain stable at around 104.7 males per 100 females for the population under the age of 18. For the population age 18 to 64, the ratio of males per 100 females is projected to be 98.9 in 2012 and increase to 104.1 in 2060. The ratio for the population age 65 and over is also projected to increase, from 77.3 males per 100 females in 2012 to 84.4 in 2060.

If I understand your chart correctly (and we are about to lose 225 Million people), Undertaker will be the growth profession for the next 3-4 years and/or one-way airline tickets out of the country will be the hot business item.

Rapidly expanding population of any species to the point of overpopulation leads to a population collapse. This seems to be a rule of nature. The extreme recent example is the passenger pigeon which became extinct. In humans it is caused b prosperity becoming general, especially with the minimization of disease that modernity has provided. In the richest countries, having children has become a net expense and a stumbling block to more prosperity for individuals thus fewer are born and the rich countries are overrun by the third world which is still having huge numbers of children and for which more children are still on net a financial benefit. As those populations begin to partake of the prosperity of the advanced countries, childbirth decreases among them, too. Overpopulation is self-correcting. Bill Gates doesn’t have to kill off 6 billion people to solve the “problem.”

Traditionally Americans valued large families when children added to family support at an early age, 8-10 years old or so and not so many of them lived to be adults. The biggest spur to population increase has been the spread of Western medicine to the poor countries before they prosper past the stage of children being net assets.

I’m old enough to remember the panic from Paul Ehrlich’s “The Population Bomb.”

Trend has been ongoing for most of the world for some time. The well known correlation is that population growth slows with increasing prosperity. Most of the world has seen major economic gains for the last 30 years and reached replacement level birth rates and below. With the spread of liberal open market economies, collapse of the communist bloc, and the pragmatic development policies of China the world has never been more prosperous.

The shortcut for the underdeveloped country populations is mass migration to the richest countries. Since 1990 over 40 million LEGAL permanent immigrants have entered the US. Millions more enter illegally.

What we are seeing now here and in Europe is a harbinger of much greater flows in the future. It is Camp of the Saints.

What a lot of these charts fail to account for is that a lot of “hispanics” are......wait for it......White.

A lot of them will openly tell you they are White and look White to everybody else. But they will definitely check the box as “hispanic” since it brings benefits like easier admissions, more government aid, etc.

A cousin of one of my friends married a girl who was Hitler’s aryan ideal. She’s a blue eyed blonde. Her dad was from Indiana. Her mom was from Venezuela (obviously of European ancestry). She could and did claim to be “hispanic”.

My niece married a White guy from Chile and a sister married a White guy from Brazil. All the kids will of course claim to be “hispanic”.

About 50% of Hispanics self-describe as white. That said, there are plenty of government incentives to being Hispanic. By 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be 50%, down from 89% in 1970. Demography is destiny.

This is just a joke IMO. “Hispanic” is not an ethnic group any more than “American” or “English speaking” is an ethnic group. This is the only country on earth that classifies people from a Spanish speaking background as if they were an ethnic group. Many of these people are White and look it and would tell you so. They only check the box for “hispanic” because they’d be fools not to for the benefits it confers.

I think the race hustlers do this in their manic zeal to do down Western Civilization and White people, ie “dear god classify them as anything but White. Then we can say White people are no longer the majority!”

Give it a generation and a hell of a lot of these people (50% intermarriage rate in the first generation) are going to be indistinguishable from German Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Polish Americans, etc etc. They’ll be mixed ethnicity White Westerners like the majority of the rest of the population.
