Demographers Warn of Impending Population Collapse
Amid the deluge of dire predictions that the human population will rise exponentially, deplete the earth’s resources, and overheat the planet, two recent demographic studies predict the opposite – that the number of people will peak within the next several decades and then begin a phase of steady, irreversible decline. Once global population decline begins, it will probably continue in a way that is impossible to stop or prevent.

There is a fertility trap. For a country to sustain its population, women must have an average birth rate of 2.1 children. Once a country’s fertility rate falls below 2.1, it never comes back. In 2020, the U.S. fertility rate was 1.6 and a sharp decline from 3.7 in 1960. Europe’s average fertility rate is 1.5, Japan’s 1.3, China’s rate has been reported as low as 1.15. Russia is projected to lose up to one-third of its population by 2050.

In 1960, the average woman world-wide had 5.2 children. Today that number has fallen to 2.4 and is projected to decline to 2.4 by 2050.
