Don’t Panic – The Truth About Population
Source: National Geographic
Professor Hans Rosling’s study of global demographics, expertly summarized in his presentation Don’t Panic – The Truth About Population (see below), illustrates how “in a few generations’ time, world population growth will level off completely.”
As the Economist reported, “Fertility is falling and families are shrinking in places— such as Brazil, Indonesia, and even parts of India—that people think of as teeming with children. As our briefing shows, the fertility rate of half the world is now 2.1 or less—the magic number that is consistent with a stable population and is usually called “the replacement rate of fertility”. Sometime between 2020 and 2050 the world’s fertility rate will fall below the global replacement rate.”
