## Overpopulation
* [United Nations](https://population.un.org/wpp/Publications/Files/WPP2019_Highlights.pdf) [(cited)](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/17/worlds-population-is-projected-to-nearly-stop-growing-by-the-end-of-the-century/)
* **Overpopulation is a lie**
* _“The global fertility rate is expected to be **1.9 births** per woman by 2100, down from 2.5 today (replacement levels are 2.1)”_
* The UN cites the following reasons for slowing population growth:
* human development
* reductions in child mortality
* increased levels of **education** (in particular for women and girls)
* increased **urbanization**
* expanded access to **reproductive health-care services** (including for family planning)
* women’s empowerment and growing labour force participation
