The Chinese monkeyed with fertility in order to address “overpopulation” fears, and now they are SCROOOD.
Their population is rapidly aging and skews heavily male. They are in a demographic death spiral.
When will people learn that God is smart enough to handle these issues, and we aren’t?
The prediction of their demise is a bit premature. China is becoming wealthier. Huge populations are not an asset. China has a population of 1.4 billion, the largest in the world. The median age in China is 37.4 compared to 38.1 for the US. Are we in a demographic death spiral?
Declining birthrates can be addressed by importing more immigrants, like the US and Canada, have done or you can adjust to fewer people like Japan has done using automation to make workers more productive.
There are over 90 million Americans of working age 16 to 65, not in the workforce.
