By 2030, 56 countries will have more people aged 65 and over than children under 15

You can’t post links from Bloomberg?
Cultural acceptance of birth control is a very very bad idea
Not a new problem.
“In our own time the whole of Greece has been subject to a low birth rate and a general decrease of the population, owing to which cities have become deserted and the land has ceased to yield fruit, although there have neither been continuous wars nor epidemics...For as men had fallen into such a state of pretentiousness, avarice, and indolence that they did not wish to marry, or if they married to rear the children born to them, or at most as a rule but one or two of them, so as to leave these in affluence and bring them up to waste their substance, the evil rapidly and insensibly grew.” - Polybius, 2nd century BC
I thought it was because everyone is LGBTQ now and can’t reproduce
Another bad idea
Hormones from birth control pills in the water supply have turned everyone gay.
The last thing you want to do is increase immigration. That’s the real problem. The demographics will work themselves out changing cultures is forever.
Hello!
ObamaCare Death Panel ........ is waving back at you, old timers.
Yep.
I’m not that old yet but I will be when the ratios are getting really skewed ... not a good thing.
***I thought it was because everyone is LGBTQ now and can’t reproduce****
Close, but the bisexuals procreate with an opposite sexual partner, then the lesbians rent sperm & gay men rent wombs so they can create a phony “family unit”.
Tax-payer funded abortion has killed millions of babies over the past decades, which is why the population shows the age disparity. That under 15 demographic tells the story.
All of the unborn are in Heaven where He is their loving Father.
looks like the mooselimb countries are excepted.
They don’t have to fight to takeover. They immigrate and breed themselves into a majority.

Give me 5 months and I’ll be over that.
Fact is: the only way to resolve the entitlement issue is for anyone over 65 to off themselves ...
“You can’t post links from Bloomberg?”
You can but then JimRob has to fumigate the site to get the stink out.
The 3M’s (Muslims, Mexicans and Morons) are still breeding like rabbits
The population bomb was and is junk science. For some time scientists who are not delusional have known around mid-century worldwide population will hit the tipping point and begin to decline. Even the UN has admitted it, albeit buried in reports few people read.
This is not good news. Modern economies are structured around consumer spending. The elderly consume far less and generally live on assets already accumulated. Fewer young people means fewer consumers - and fewer taxpayers to support the various social security and pension schemes. It could get ugly.
“Fact is: the only way to resolve the entitlement issue is for anyone over 65 to off themselves ... “
Actually, if things remain the same, they’ll have us gen-Xers working to death to support people that are starting to realize that a job might help them earn money. Of course, these will be people that were part of the Bernie Sanders cult. You figure they’re ~ 20 now ... they’ll be in their mid 30s by 2030. Since Bernie was around 40 when he realized that a job could lead to additional cash, I figure his followers will do the same.
Dead right and well said.
