There are people who don’t want a baby. There are the ones desperately fighting to have a child. This is the right thing to adopt a kid; another way is surrogate parenting – I’ve read a lot about it at [url]http://ivf-sunrise.net[/url] . There is always the way to change your life and the life of your family.

There are many studies that disagree with the globalist propaganda about population control.

“In contrast with these apocalyptic forecasts, over 40% of the world’s population live in nations with sub-replacement fertility (defined as any rate below 2.1 children per woman)—a common feature among the most prosperous countries.

Moreover, a report by the Foreign Policy Research Institute states that the phenomenon of sub-replacement fertility rates is rapidly spreading to developing countries. Should all of these trends continue global population will peak–but then experience a secular decline.

The potential consequences of global depopulation could be substantial, and many could be quite positive. Stress on infrastructure and services would diminish. Land might be abandoned and natural habitats could reappear, along with fauna and flora.”

Forbes: The Next Black Swan: Global Depopulation

Thing is one must remember that progressives are often globalists and progressives have a long history with eugenics.

Quote:
It is no coincidence that Egyptian Christians were attacked at the same time as the South Sudan Referendum and before the crisis in Libya.

It seeks to draw dividing lines in Africa between a so-called “Black Africa” and a supposedly “non-Black” North Africa. This is part of a scheme to create a schism in Africa between what are assumed to be “Arabs” and so-called “Blacks.”

An attempt to separate the merging point of an Arab and African identity is underway.

This objective is why the ridiculous identity of an “African South Sudan” and an “Arab North Sudan” have been nurtured and promoted. This is also why black-skinned Libyans have been targeted in a campaign to “colour cleanse” Libya. The Arab identity in North Africa is being de-linked from its African identity. Simultaneously there is an attempt to eradicate the large populations of ”black-skinned Arabs” so that there is a clear delineation between “Black Africa” and a new “non-Black” North Africa, which will be turned into a fighting ground between the remaining “non-Black” Berbers and Arabs.

In the same context, tensions are being fomented between Muslims and Christians in Africa, in such places as Sudan and Nigeria, to further create lines and fracture points. The fuelling of these divisions on the basis of skin-colour, religion, ethnicity, and language is intended to fuel disassociation and disunity in Africa.

Libya had been considered as “a spoiler” which undermined the interests of the former colonial powers in Africa. In this regard, Libya had taken on some hefty pan-African development plans intended to industrialize Africa and transform Africa into an integrated and assertive political entity. These initiatives conflicted with the interests of the external powers competing with one another in Africa, but it was especially unacceptable to Washington and the major E.U. countries. In this regard, Libya had to be crippled and neutralized as an entity supportive of African progress and pan-African unity.

Under this scheme, there can no longer be a melding transition between societies and countries. This is why the Christians in the Middle East and North Africa, such as the Copts, are being targeted. This is also why black-skinned Arabs and black-skinned Berbers, as well as other North African population groups which are black-skinned, are facing genocide in North Africa.

What is being staged is the creation of an exclusively “Muslim Middle East” area (excluding Israel) that will be in turmoil over Shiite-Sunni fighting. A similar scenario is being staged for a “non-Black North Africa” area which will be characterized by a confrontation between Arabs and Berber. At the same time, under the “Clash of Civilizations” model, the Middle East and North Africa are slated to simultaneously be in conflict with the so-called ”West” and “Black Africa.”

Real multiculturalism threatens the legitimacy of the NATO war agenda. It also constitutes an obstacle to the implementation of the “Clash of Civilizations” which constitutes the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.

Then you have a state such as California with a below-replacement birth rate on top of dramatically lower in-migration, to which you can add a rapidly aging population, which means that taxes will have to skyrocket on those who work in the state to pay for the social welfare costs which are bound to explode right alongside the civil service pension costs.

How is the state with the highest poverty rate in the country, which makes no sense when five of the top 25-28 universities in the nation are within the state going to avoid financial armageddon?

It won't be pretty.

States are not viable units for looking at this "problem", since most of it is federal.

Other developed countries have higher >65 populations. Japan is nearly twice as high!! How can we possibly manage? In the next 50 years the labor force participation % is supposed to drop all the way down to what it was in 1960. Gee, I think we were doing ok then.

China and S Korea are in the same boat. So are Italy and Germany. Thanks to immigration from South and Central America, the US so far has avoided the worst of all this and likely will continue to.

It would be so sad to see Japan and S. Korea weaken and die. Some highly reputable companies with great products come out of Japan and S. Korea. They really expanded on the technology America shared after WWII and their people are such hard workers. Europe on the other hand could go the way of the dodo bird and I honestly would not care one bit. Europe still contains too many entitlement minded white people. That continent can't become Islamic fast enough as far as I'm concerned.

Not just developed countries

Thailand has a total fertility rate of 1.63, and has been below replacement levels for close to 25 years. Population growth rate is less than the USA and since they have no immigration their population will peak and begin diminishing very rapidly.

China has, naturally, very slow rate of increase given their federal policies for many decades. It is said that the Total Fertility Rate in some cities is the lowest ever recorded in human populations.

Essentially world population growth has little meaning anymore. There is basically the world of south central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa and there is most of the rest of the world. You can average them together and get a rate for the world, just like you can say that a man with one foot frozen in ice and the other in burning coals is on average at a comfortable temperature.

Latin America has some hot spots like Haiti, Guatemala, and Bolivia, but basically it is headed towards zero population growth. The TFR of Mexico is only slightly above the USA, and teenage pregnancy is much lower in Mexico than in the USA.
