Watch the documentary Demographic Winter on youtube in I think 9 parts. Covers much of what is here, and a whole lot more, with charts & graphs and tangible illustrations.

A finding of these demographers is that our economic downturn in 2008/9 is directly linked to population decline, and as such cannot be reversed. People spend at their peak in their 40s, on homes, businesses, kids. And then it drops off drastically, and their money goes into investments, and is in turn borrowed by the next generation coming up. The baby boomers have begun reaching this over-the-spending-hill, and there will not be a comparable younger generation coming up to invest in at the same numbers. Japan's economic downturn preceded ours by 20 years because they did not see a baby boom after WWII, and we are paralleling they're economic malaise. This is something the film makers concluded without having set out to prove this.

Excellent summary.

Despite all the BS of the politically correct class, the progressives and the environmentalists and their enablers in the MSM, the biggest crisis facing mankind at present, and the primary cause of our current economic collapse, is this demographic collapse.
