Reader Bran who lives in Spain sent some interesting charts of population, expected population growth, the world's largest cites, and what people do for a living. I don't have links for the charts, but most show the origin.
Seven Billion People
Breakdown
As I’m likely to be long gone by 2030, I’ll leave it to y’all to worry about . . .
Never fear, 0bama and his "Ebola Czar" and probably many others in the so-called intelligensia are working hard to reduce that 7 Billion figure.
Cool, I’m no.1. Call me Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen.
This the best smallest biggest city in the world (for my personality).
Since calamity change will make some of these cities disappear....
Couple of predictions we already know about. Ain’t no “retirement” soon. Second, all those huge Chinese cities with no women gonna be a problem in a few years.
Yep...Bill Gates has some interesting quotes on how that needs to be done as well. He seems to focus on Africa, but I think Obama is looking here and has but two short years to do something.
Niiiice! I knew someone would reply, but I didn’t expect it so quickly. Thanks FRiend.

>> This the best smallest biggest city in the world (for my personality).
I am a rural happy camper now, but I love Tokyo (and Japan, and the Japanese) and could easily live there if I were called to.
Retirement is a null concept except for corporate employees - who are going to face it whether they like it or not.
Chinese cities have plenty of women - its the rural areas where you find schools with 30 boys to every girl. Women don't want to get married to peasant farmers, and they leave for the cities as soon as they are able. And having a girl is not considered a family tragedy in the cities the way it is in the farming villages.
The lists left off Chongqing, which is already the biggest city in China at over 30 million people - it's shown on the first map.
Oh, I know all about it. I’m a huge Spongebob fan. That’s why I made my post, but I didn’t think I’d get a reply so quickly.
I’ll be happy to do whatever is necessary to save all FReepers by helping them get setup in japan when they need to escape America.
There was a Slate article, I think, where the person reviewed the Foxcomm factories where smartphones were made and all those suicides had occurred. The writer said it was the second most tragic thing he’d seen in China, the first of which was Chinese agriculture.
The writer then agreed that the girls were there by choice, because the factory protected them from the elements, had air conditioning, they had opportunities for advancement like learning English and quality control, and they earned two to three times as much as fathers working on the farm. It was horrific to Western sensibilities, but the factory was better than the farm for them - and made them more economically valuable than their brothers.
America has 21% of the world’s unemployed?
92 Million Americans are “not in the workforce”.
430 Million unemployed in the world.
When Obola gets to India and China the world population is going to drop significantly. Gonna happen at some point.
The source lists “too young to work” as age 0-15. Many, many children under 15 are working.
We may be all gone by then but if I live I will turn 86 that year, not so old by today’s standards. It is not at all uncommon to live that long now. I am already past the point at which most people died in the decade of my birth. Seventy used to be considered a “ripe old age”. Anyone who lived that long was said to have lived a full life, the biblical “three score and ten”.
