    The birth rate in every country — past, present and future

    For those freaking out about overpopulation, most of the world will soon be at sub-replacement fertility for some time now. Europe has been for some time now. North America is predicted to. Only Africa looks to remain above.

    Europe, Russia, and soon the US need to start having more babies, not less.

    Europe and US seem satisfied with immigrants taking up the slack.

    Although less people are having children the population is still rising because we have more people than ever. It is kind of a math trick.

    That sounds like selling it at below cost but making it up on volume.

    It's no trick. Globally, the population growth rate is still at about 1%.

    Two people having one child lowers the birth rate. Not a math trick.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation

    It depends on where. Europe is at negative population replacement. Russia is well into that as well. The US is approaching it. But the poor developed world isn't there yet. We need to reverse these trends.

    I believe over population is a drain on our resources. Well I guess I should just scrap that argument, as it is soon going to be irrelevant. When our labor is replaced by automation they might not need so many of us anymore and who knows what will happen. I don't think they will pay to keep masses and masses of people who have no purpose except to live. But I suppose that is a whole different conversation.

    Well I will still explain, it is like Christmas, or what I like to call economy day. It always has to be bigger than last year. We always have to compare it. It is the same with our population. We have more people now than ever, even if we don't populate enough to keep that up even if drops a bit, it is still more than ever. I am not sure that is a problem, it is actually better for the earth.

    A link I read said our population is projected to be 11.2 billion by 2100 and now what are we at like 8 billion? That is a clear increase in population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth

    But I am no expert in this department though. Those are just my thoughts on this.
