  1. If current trends continue, Africa will make up 50% of the world population by 2100.

    Ofc, I don’t expect that to happen, and expect their birth rate to also drop, especially coastal countries that can become wealthier.

  4. I know “The Great Replacement” and “The Global Population Collapse” are technically conspiracy theories, but holy cow stats like this are hard to overlook

  5. It’s crazy that India’s birth rate is where the US’s was as recently as 2000, despite the fact that India is nowhere near as wealthy as the US was at that time.

    Is there a factor other than income that is driving these declines?

  6. Really good – more resources available to more people as the population reduces

  9. Plunging is how one would characterize China and India, not the US.

  10. Smart people do not want or need children (downvote all you want it’s fucking true)

  11. Looks like a good trend to me. Too many humans for planet earth now.

  12. Why does this chart end in 2020? It’s 2025. Also these counties are aging why not show something more like fertility rate of women 18-45?

  13. Fertility rates declining are actually one of the signs that a nation is improving. There is an overlap in between undeveloped and developed where the birth rate of the undeveloped era continues into the developed era but as infant mortality drops and economic growth improves, birth rates decline. It’s not always a bad thing to have declining birth rates.

  14. Constructive feedback: remove “Fertility Rate,” from the key; update the colors to match the countries flag. Blue for China instead of US feels weird.

  15. It’s not going to continue declining infinitely, populations will stabilize, economies will get used to not being able to function on the mindset of infinite growth, culture will change and people will be fine. It’s very pathetic to me that countries like China, Japan, and Denmark are so insistent on spending so much time, money, and effort on programs to increase fertility that have universally failed miserably, desperately clinging to this idea of unsustainable economic growth.

  16. Legitimate question bc I’m amateur at best with history.

    If birth rates fall, then there are less people. Eventually it should theoretically stabilize and taper off due to resources/space, no? Then, just like when the black plague ravaged Europe and wages were better because they simply didn’t have the labor, even tho life sucked ass it was ‘better’ in regards to average available resources.

    This doesn’t factor in pollution affecting reproduction and genetics, with all the SSRIs in the water and microplastics in the balls and brain.

  17. Isn’t using 2020 for fertility rate a bit disingenuous?

  18. Because they’ve poisoned most of the population, stuff costs too much, men are jerks, and everything sucks.

  20. I feel like these stats are somewhat missing just by being labeled “fertility rate”.

    Makes it seem like there’s a biological nuclear winter, where testicles have been microwaved and sperm counts are down.

    People are just choosing to have fewer kids because kids are expensive and space is at a premium because there are already too many people.

    If/when that ever flips, people will start having kids again and the population stays normalized.

    Everyone so concerned about this and it’s basically a non-story in every regard other than what is going to happen to US social security programs.

  21. These are legit just screenshots from websites. Data is ugly…..

  23. I don’t see how Chinas population can contract like that without collapsing the country.

    The one child policy in combination with the normal societal pressures every other country is facing that is causing fertility rates to drop seem set to literally implode
