“Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming.” - Elon Musk
People have stopped breeding.
Here's a list of 10 largely populated nation and their fertility rate in brackets. Fertility rate is the average number of children a couple breeds. A fertility rate below 2.1 indicates a declining trend.
1. India has entered the phase for decrease (2.06).
2. China's population is already decreasing (1.28).
3. US population is increasing just because of immigration (1.6).
4. Indonesian being muslim majority would keep breeding for a while but the rate has decreased significantly over time (2.19).
5. Pakistan another muslim nation is still a good exporter of immigrants but the fertility rate is decreasing rapidly (3.56).
6. Nigeria with over 50% muslim population is growing (5.31).
7. Brazil's on verge of population decline (1.65).
8. Bangladesh, even a muslim nation's population going stagnant (2.0).
9. Russian's were getting fewer even without war (1.5).
10. Mexico won't grow for too long. (1.9)
Only 3 of them are above the replacement rate and all of them muslim majority. Unlike claims from some, the fertility rate on muslim nations too are on decline.
The population decrease is already affecting eastern Europe and East Asia. Aging population means lower economic growth and decreased quality of life. The largest threat to mankind is the lack of modern values and extremism in growing population group. Humankind could go in backward direction if they are not properly integrated.
