Birthrates are plummeting worldwide. Can governments turn the tide?

Overpopulation is a myth rooted in Malthusian BS and racism.
Earth has finite resources that can be harvested before they’re replenished. Over population can be a real thing and I’m not sure if we’re there yet but the earth would correct this problem. Humans may not be alright but Mother Earth will be just fine at the end of the day

SOHH why is the entire ocean polluted with human garbage all the way down to the lowest point in the ocean?

They went down as far as they have very gone and there was plastic garbage down there already.

All fish are poisoned with Mercury. This is human activity.

No, this is NOT what is wanted

This is why there's such a move to ban abortion, porn, and ultimately semi-ban contraceptives.

They want more ppl being born to continue being cogs in the wheel so the elite can continue to make money. They want things to be as they once were.
And continue that way.

The more educated a population of women are, the fewer children they have.

More schooling means delaying marriage and waiting for someone that checks off the professional, educational, financial and physical requirements. Back in the day, women either quickly settled for the attractive jock turned coal miner or the nerdy pencil pusher because he made good money.

Modern women don't have to settle...and most won't settle (unless it's for an attractive bum).

We don't have a bunch of family farms anymore. Where our great-grandmothers had 10, 12, 15 kids, a woman in 2024 would be hard pressed to have more than 2.

Why is that a bad thing other than how it affects capitalistic markets? Continued growth is not just impossible, but exactly what cancerous cells do. Multiplication without rhyme or reason until the entity the cancer pulls energy from is dead.
Huge population growth is because of poorer countries living in better conditions it is inevitable

But what happens when u can’t replace people who die in a year
