Not a big deal once we're able to get to the magic number which is 2.1 children per woman.

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”
Of course we were none of the above, excepting perhaps the "Question Authority" part, of which is one of the healthy parts of being an American --- to *always* question authority, and to *always* hold political hacks to account.
And they still won’t admit that the Covid ‘vaccine’ contributes to a baby bust unlike any other.
Regarding Korea: young Koreans aren’t having kids despite much government bribery and the main reason is the debasement of the Korean currency in thrall to US consumers to ensure that those 64-inch Samsung and LG TVs continue to fly off the (Wal-mart) shelves for $499 plus tax (less than half the price of the same TV here in Korea). So is the solution to buck up the currency so that young people might earn more and actually starting thinking they can afford kids and an apartment?
Absolutely not. The answer to the ultra-low birthrates in Korea is more of the same: outright bribery and currency debasement. What was that definition of insanity again? Someone should translate it into Korean and put it in the international post.
Population Bomb is a dud.
Today’s youth don’t know what sex they are or deny their sex, have their heads buried in a phone 24/7 or are just too dumb from what they’re taught as to what parts fit together to make babies so not surprising.
Any discussion of “population explosion” must include some kind of analysis of how many people the planet can actually hold. Remember they all have to go to the bathroom every day. It is not about land area as EC commented, rather it is about rainfall. The discussion has always been poisoned by leftist propaganda, so it is natural to recoil from the subject, but I still wonder.
“...plummeting fertility rates (births per woman)...”
Anyway, perhaps the most profound invention/development in human history is the development and distribution of the birth-control pill.
