The good news is across the world fertility rates are falling.... and falls in fertility normally reflect better health care & better rights for women!
But the big Q. is how does a world with an (eventually) falling population pivot its economics that (for decades if not centuries) has taken a growing global population (of workers & consumers) as an underpinning logic or organisation.
Unlike climate change, demographic change is clear & unambiguously measured.... we need to plan!
