Global Population Crash Isn't Sci-Fi Anymore
"The European Commission’s Centre of Expertise on #Population and Migration projects that the global population will peak at 9.8 billion in the 2070s.
It is simply because, all over the world, the #TotalFertilityRate (TFR) — the number of live children the average woman bears in her lifetime — has been falling since the 1970s. In one country after another, it has dropped under the 2.1 value of the 'replacement rate'."
We used to worry about the planet getting too crowded,…
BloombergPopulation growth varies across the planet. You can look it up for a specific place by searching for #TotalFertilityRate (the average number of babies per woman) for that place.
The graph below shows that TFR is
1.64 United States
1.40 Canada
1.28 China
For a stable population, TFR = 2.1. Meaning, the US population is growing slightly only because of immigration.
In South Korea, TFR = 0.84.

Just another day of fearmongering about birth rates…
jezebel.comIn most developed countries, the birth rate is now lower than the replacement rate, some a lot lower (#TotalFertilityRate is 1.2 per woman in Italy). Those populations are growing only because of immigration. Think about how economists are wringing their hands over the "baby bust".
We're already at #PeakChild
Not to minimise the contribution of large population, but the "exponential" growth of the human population is over. Good thing.
