"China's population decline may be much faster than expected, with the number of people in the country halving within the next 45 years, a new study has warned. The projection was based on the official birth rate of 1.3 children per woman last year - well below the figure of 2 needed to keep the number stable - and forecast a much more dramatic decline than previous estimates."
I think this is great news for the environment and the world's political climate. Does anyone disagree?
It's a good thing for the environment. Not sure how it's good politically. They need to decrease the current population before going back to 2 kids per couple.
It would be interesting to witness what happens when there is a severe curtailment in birth rates: closing down maternity wards, daycare sites, public schools, etc.
