4 Billion People by 2100 — The World’s Population Could Be Cut in Half by the End of the Century.

What problems or opportunities will this present? 4 Billion People by 2100 — The World’s Population Could Be Cut in Half by the End of the Century. This is at least the thesis supported by James Pomeroy, an economist at HSBC. https://ssaurel.medium.com/4-billion-people-by-2100-the-worlds-population-could-be-cut-in-half-by-the-end-of-the-century-84312be63723

Really interesting (and scary) article about the declining birth rate. They took a closer look at South Korea, which has a fertility rate of 0.72, which essentially means that a group of 100 South Koreans will have 5 grand kids. The author made observations about how a low birth rate can affect a city (in this case, Seoul).

Birth rates are crashing around the world. Should we be worried?
