Contrary to the projections of the United Nations, demographers warn that recent evidence suggests the world is headed into a population collapse, not an era of overpopulation.
While the United Nations predicts that humanity will continue down a path of massive population growth until the year 2100, peaking at over 11 billion, a demographic study published in The Lancet found that the world is only a few decades away from a sharp and consequential population decline.
In an October 2020 study titled “Fertility, mortality, migration, and population scenarios for 195 countries and territories from 2017 to 2100: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study,” researchers theorize that while the human population will continue to grow until 2064, hitting approximate 9.73 billion – right now the population sits around 8 billion – due to low fertility rates the population is set to fall by over a billion in the remaining part of the century.
The study, which recently gained massive attention on social media, predicts that by the year 2100, with fertility rates well below the replacement level of 2.1 child per woman, China will have a population of just 773 million compared with the current figure of 1.39 billion. Such a drop represents a decrease in population of nearly 50 percent.

Depending on how fast AI improves, this may not be a problem at all.
Very soon we are going to need a whole lot less humans to get things done. Cars will drive themselves. Factories will make things automatically without humans. Crops can be planted and harvested without humans. Even wars will be fought without very many humans. Picture every house having its own robot servant. All public works tasks performed by automated equipment(road crews, trash removal, snow removal, etc). your house combined with the robot servant and smart appliances and self driving car will do everything for you…clean, cook, laundry, groceries, yard work, etc.
The economy will not crash and humans will not suffer if technology takes up the slack.
Well that’s one of th reasons why they’re shipping refugees and redistributing 3rd world populations into western countries. Western countries aren’t having babies to fill the population.
P
I volunteer to make babies with lots of women.
All of them, in fact.
Hasselhoff is huge in Germany. Not sure why.
