Good. Property prices have needed to come down for a long time.
The idea of perpetual expansion is just... ugh. I genuinely wonder how this country is so stupid at times.
Then I remember that the boomers are profiting from it.
Well the reality is, the first world have a negative population growth.I suspect that we have reached or surpassed our maximum level of efficiency as a species and we will decline in numbers untill a balance between population numbers and resources required is achieved.
No doubt environmental factors are involved, but so are economics. If people can't get secure well paying jobs are they really going to be interested in having kids if they can't afford a house to put them in ? On the other hand opportunities for women have increased (despite the feminist screeching otherwise) and more women are interested in careers rather than child rearing.
All of which adds up to a levelling out of the population increase in the developed world at least.
Which is a good thing imo, as long as we can afford aged care.
I'm not sure if many people read the article I posted.
The question raised is not to do with voluntary reductions in births. It is whether humans will be be able to reproduce in 30 years time at all becasue of the impact of the various chemicals we have released into the environment.
Thoughts of how we address this problem now before the cumulative effect of these chemicals becomes impossible to reverse ? Or is it just too difficult, too late or more Fake News ??

Plummeting sperm counts, shrinking penises: toxic chemicals threaten humanity | Erin Brockovich The chemicals to blame for our reproductive crisis are found everywhere and in everything
www.theguardian.com
I'm not a chemist, but if it's in The Guardian, it must be right.
Ha Ha.I could quote around a dozen other newspapers and Medical Journals re the effects of these chemicals on human fertility. And in fact the main source is Erin Brokovich who pulled together the various research papers highlighting what is happening.
But I suppose these days we are all so fed up with yet another environmental scare the easiest thing to do is throw up our hands and open up another tinnie.
A bit politically incorrect, but I see a lot of obvious African descent families around my area that have a lot of kids, not much breathing space between them.I suppose we could all bonk like crazy before it's too late ? Or at least make weekly donations to sperm and egg banks compulsory ?
frankly, I'm glad I won't be around in 2100, no matter what the projection

Where Is Population Growth Actually Heading?
Demographics matter. An aging society, fewer children, less workers, immigration, to name a few, are likely to shape our future in ways we cannot predict. There is much uncertainty, exemplified by …frankdiana.net
They want to live in your place.I can't see how Nigeria sustains 700m?
Good evening Mr Value. Obviously with a forecast population of that size food production will be papamount. Phosphate fertilisers will be in far greater need and use to create the crop growth needed to fill the empty bellies. Without the tucker, not all will be skittles and roses. We as a global community are over-populated now, even though sufficient food is produced, the distribution doesn't satisfy the needs of some of these countries.With the population heading to 9 Billion by 2050, what does this mean for our investments?
Surely, there are many companies in prime positions to benefit from this growth.
Obviously holdings of prime agricultural land in politically stable areas and companies with large resources of Potash and Phosphate are in business areas with a tail wind.
Large low cost producers of energy and materials resources should to well over time.
Companies with strong brands in food production, and companies with key positions in food marketing and distribution should do well.
Even one of my favourite companies "The Walt Disney company" is in a prime position to profit from a growing customer base for it's media content and parks and resorts etc.
Hmm subsistence living, extremly profilic breeding and those that survive carry-on dittoI can't see how Nigeria sustains 700m?

food production won’t be a huge problem food production is more sensible.Good evening Mr Value. Obviously with a forecast population of that size food production will be papamount.

Or just more tofu, only 6% of all soybeans are eaten by humans, most are used as animal feed."You will be eating insects and you will be happy." Klaus Schwab.
I think TikTok is going lower birth rates more than any chemicals, My wife’s TikTok algorithm is feeding her (and probably millions of others) a steady stream of truth bombs about the negative affects or pregnancy and children.I suppose we could all bonk like crazy before it's too late ? Or at least make weekly donations to sperm and egg banks compulsory ?
Indo-China type diet. No thanks. Double Gee (3 Corner Jack) leaves perhaps. were brought into here as a condiment aka lettuce"You will be eating insects and you will be happy." Klaus Schwab.
@Dona Ferentes I don't think that this list of countries declining population would make much difference to the world's population as a wholeDeclining and or persistently low fertility rstes, plus emigration, and what do you get:
According to the CIA data, the countries and territories with the fastest shrinking populations (all greater than 1 per cent) are as follows:
- Cook Islands—shrinking by 2.24 percent every year
- American Samoa
- Saint Pierre and Miquelon
- Puerto Rico
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Poland
- Romania
- Estonia
- Federated States of Micronesia
