Overpopulation

  • United Nations (cited)
    • 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
