There certainly will be challenges as the global trend towards smaller families skews the demographic balance. But all those challenges are manageable with good policies and technology.
If human civilization is going to persist for the long term on this planet we need to stabilize our population at a lower, sustainable number that allows both humans and our non-human relatives to flourish. There is a brief outline of what a sustainable civilization might look like a few centuries from now in the Aspen Proposal. [www.aspenproposal.org](https://www.aspenproposal.org)
People are having fewer kids or no kids now.
This isn’t good for the SS ponzi
This population declining stuff is retarded. People in the U.S. complain about population decline as thousands of young workers risk their lives for a chance to get over here so they can work and raise families. Make up your mind people.
Time to start raising the retirement age or reducing benefits
