Look at Japan. They need immigrants to replenish their aging population but they are too xenophobic to allow mass immigration. They'd rather let their population die out. Cut off your nose to spite your face. The US is headed in that direction under the Trump administration.

That is not a sustainable long-term strategy to maintain a stable population. Birth rates are declining pretty much everywhere and fertility rates are already below replacement level in 63% of countries. In 2050, more than 75% will be below replacement level. In 2100, 97% of counties will have below replacement level fertility rates. Immigration is not a viable solution to prevent population decline anymore. Only increasing birth rates or medical advances that boost lifespan/slow aging will save us from a demographic crisis.

a demographic crisis?

stop with the globalist propaganda

i am old enough to remember the population explosion crisis in the 70's , was more ivory tower nonsense.

the best thing that can happen to this planet is less human beings.

Let’s hope the human race dies out soon! 👍

Declining birthrates in some parts of the world are only an issue if you care deeply about your race/ethnicity reducing in numbers or you desire regressive policies. If you realize that the human race has been intermixing for thousands of years and don’t freak out that your future descendants may not have blond hair and blue eyes you are fine. If you are savvy enough to realize that economic prosperity depends on global trade, innovation, and leading on the most profitable industries while dumping less profitable one you are fine.

There were one million more senior high school kids applying to college this year than when their parents applied. Housing is unaffordable because there is a shortage of houses. A lower population isn’t a bad thing.

The freak out is not about intermixing. It is about voting for policies that require more workers than we have or will have. We are chaining people to work a la a new serfdom. It is Brave New World.

There is not a shortage of houses. There are too many businesses owning residential properties (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) plus second and third homes.

The left wants to seize international control, and they are using birth rates as an argument for open border policies (although their ultimate goal is always: control).

No, I want the human race to die out and return the earth to nature. F the white or any fertility.

Overpopulation is bad, underpopulation is better. Currently the USA is aiming to make parenthood an uphill battle, if debate doesn’t trash the bbb.

Too much common sense for the Democrats and Open border crowd

Do we benefit economically more from childless people than from producing babies aka replacement workers?

Assume immigration does not exist (immigrants tend to be younger). However, this is about a more global situation than a national one.

Parenthood is already extremely difficult in the US, and getting harder. I think it's fine to have fewer people, and once immigrants move here they will figure out having fewer kids is in their best interest as well.

You can't fund social programs without babies. That's like 75% of the issue. No babies = collapse of the social welfare system. I have no idea why the left keeps pushing for this when it literally spells doom for their concept of governance.

Bumping this comment because it summarizes the modern American left. Anti-human, anti-western, anti-white.

As a society, we need to support each other / work together but is there a different model that can work so that babies are not just Oompa Loompas for the government?

Do politicians look at policies in terms of how many workers we have and how many workers we need to support every social policy?

Declining birth rates are the result of higher standards of living and higher human capital investment requirements.

Declining birthrates are not a problem is the increases in productivity outpace the decline in population.

If the next generation can do twice as much with half as many people, then we we would get twice as much with half as many people.

Think of how much better our kids are at math than we were. How much better at programming, engineering, etc. Sure there are the ebureats driversbut for the most part our kids will be far more productive than we are and that will support us into our retirement.

The problem is that has to work twice as much to support fewer people. If it takes working 40h/week to support one person today, it will take 80h to 120h per week to support one person in the future. (I’m using made up numbers to explain my point.)

Industrialization was supposed to make us work less, computers were supposed to make us work less. But working less never happens. We just have to work more more more. Well, some of us have to work moee and more.
