Everyone is freaking out about this graph

Lefties tend to think in absolutes. They usually excel in academics and believe there’s only one solution: it has to be this or it has to be that. But truly smart people understand that every decision has its pros and cons. In real life, it’s not as black and white as it is in school. The right way to discuss this issue is to recognize that the immigration problem is real, but the only way to solve it is by allowing immigration. After that, we need to figure out what balance mechanisms should be put in place—whatever those might be. This approach makes more sense and is what we should be teaching our kids.

"Why does it have to be such a bad thing". Well, all good points, but you did leave out a lot of the realistic expectations that younger folks tend to be a bit naive about. Economic growth drives sustainability, not the other way around. Without a growing or at least stable population (most importantly in age distribution), like you hinted at with Japan, services will fail because there aren't enough younger workers to carry the burden (work and financially through investments). Unless of course you don't mind living in the woods eating out of your garden and dying at age 30. Then by all means, continue. A declining population is in general BAD for us, but GOOD for the planet… you may not be able to have both.

Decrease faster I need a friggin house

The psychopaths in The One Percent get nervous about their profits when we commoners stop pumping out worker drones.

I've been here before! No matter, still a good level headed video. With dwindling fossil fuel we'll need to learn how to live with limited resources like Nigerians, I mean it!

global replacement rate is 2.3, then 2.1 you're talking about is in the West 2,06 to be specific.

Canada brings in millions of immigrants but everyone I know is getting poorer, time sure called out the lie that they bring money…. if they truly do then who’s getting it… hmmm I think I know, greedy gov is lining their pockets

Layers of propaganda in this video. The UN is corrupt. We have no idea how many are living in the earth. The mass immigration are your replacements because when they are finally forced to work, they will work for less. We are experiencing a global democide. That birth control y'all have been taking has made you infertile. Good luck.

You Tube is crawling with population denialism. There are many, many videos trying to tell us that the population will eventually decrease. If the population decreases it will be after the global crisis that kills us all. That crisis will be global warming caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
We know this right now. Don't let videos like this fool you. We are headed straight for Armageddon at high speed.

i totally agree with you. i think a decreased population is a good thing, but gradually (def a collapse if it's too fast). though, we need to figure out how to manage a smaller & aging population. a smaller population is also concerning in terms of lower tax revenue and labor force, but robots are slowly on the rise & production efficiency is increasing. As for lower tax revenue, they just gotta be more efficient with the money. Also, less population means less services needed, and maybe even better services at tat. smaller classroom sizes, less traffic, no over-packed amusement parks, etc.
things were fine a few decades ago with a 5b size population. it's better to have fewer but higher quality goods/services, especially with technological advancements that we have today. i rather people have less kids with better lives than having many kids with hard lives, for the kids.

The graph is too optimistic. It implies that we have until close to the end of this century before population decline begins.

Fertility rates are dropping rapidly already all over the world.

Club of Rome predicted world population growth would slow by 2030 and population dropping rapidly around 2040.

I didn't buy anything you just said bro.
It was all quite misanthropic at worst, deluded at best.
Nothing mentioned regarding how do you level off the declining fertility rate, just the assumption it will happen. Reality is that this trend will continue.
Our civilisation will decline, human development will stagnate, our potential will be snuffed out. It will be a 'long goodnight'.
Of course this is music to the ears of the misanthropes.
Living in a global version of Detroit is not a new utopia.
And that 'report' saying the future is bright with a falling population, was written by Stephanie Feldstein, a simple Google of her reveals she's ideological.
If you care about the human condition and its potential, we need to grow sustainably, or at least maintain our numbers.
We could easily have 100 billion people on Earth and live in balance with the environment, do the math people.

Lgtv agenda, covid shots, wars, feminism, mgtow, inflation, etc, contribute to depopulation

2:57 the crown of india does not belong to pakistan. stop using these crazy ohio maps in your videos.

Bringing Africans to Europe and America is NOT the answer. We should rather play it out, let the old pass on, and hopefully the newer generations will have better sense, and lots of empty housing

The UN is too optimistic. We will never make it to 10.9 billion.

Bro too much money is required to raise kids, just to have the basics figured. Not everyone is earning that much money, considered the fact that the disparity between rich people and others are getting bigger day by day.

this aged like milk

I haven't counted but do think most comments hee just rant about

1. Money spent on raising children.
2. Imagining bringing children into this cruel, collapsing world.

😅😅😅

The last of us

Many demographers believe the UN has grossly overestimated the peak global population and how long it will take to reach it, because they predict that current birth rates will continue to apply, even though they are dropping world wide. It was the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), funded by Bill Gates, that predicted the population will peak at 9.7 billion in 2064. The Austrian for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) predicts a peak only 9.4 billion coming in 2070. As the rest of the world catches up to the west, where will we find immigrants? Recently, there has been a net loss of Mexican born immigrants in America moving back to Mexico. The reason Syrian refugees are in Turkey and Jordan is because they can walk there. Nothing to do with xenophobia. When population collapses in China, it will wreck havoc on supply chains, causing massive shortages and a global recession as countries struggle to rebuild their industrial bases. One geopolitical pundit predicts between 1 and 2 billion people will starve as a result of deglobalization. That doesn't sound great to me.

8:11 I think that this could very well be a correlation as countries where women can get into important position are usually more liberal and open minded and countries with such a culture are more likely to care about climate change and nature.
