Snyder: "Demographic Winter Is Coming" As Fertility Rates Plummet All Over The Globe

Authorized by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,

Fertility rates have fallen way below replacement level through the enter industrialized world, and this is starting to origin major problems all over the globe. Aging populations are counting on younger generation to take care of them as they get older, but younger generation are not close large adequate to increase that task. Meanwhile, there are old workers that are now retiring. Sadly, this is just the beginning. As I discretions in my fresh book entered “Chaos”, If fertility rates proceed to drop we could possibly be successful an unprecedented global population collapse in the decades ahead.

This has become so experienced that even the mainstream media is starting to do stories about this. In fact, an economicist that was just interviewed by the Wall Street diary is informing that “demographic winter is coming”...

Fertility is falling almost everywhere, for women across all levels of income, education and labor-force participation. The Falling birthrates come with large implications for the way people live, how economies grow and the standings of the world’s superpowers.

In high-income nations, fertility fell below replacement in the 1970s, and took a leg down during the pandemic. It’s dropping in developing countries, too. India surpassed China as the most popular country last year, yet its fertility is now below replacement.

“The demographic winter is coming,” said Jesús Fernández-Villaverde, an economist specializing in demographics at the University of Pennsylvania.

Here in the United States, if we want to keep a unchangeable population we request the fertility rate to be at 2.1 or above.

Unfortunately, our fertility rate dropped to just 1.62 last year, which was an all-time evidence low...

In the U.S., a short-lived pandemic baby boomlet has reversed. The full fertility rate fell to 1.62 last year, according to forecast government figures, the value on record.

Had fertility stayed close 2.1, where it stood in 2007, the U.S. would have welcomed an estimated 10.6 million more babies since, according to Kenneth Johnson, elder demographer at the University of fresh Hampshire.

Our native-born population has been in decline for fast any time.

The only reason why the U.S. population as a full has not been shrinking is due to the utmost amount of immigration that has been happening.

But even though it is not shrinking, the U.S. population has been rapidly getting old, and it is being designed that just six years from now seniors will actually outnumber children for the first time in our entry history...

Seniors are set to outnumber children for the first time in American past within six years, as experts believe that the country is about to conflict with a dramaticly increasing population.

The ‘silver tsunami’ has already seen the burden on working age people double since 1960 erstwhile there were six workers for all over-65.

Needless to say, seniors are counting on all the remainder of us to fund Social safety and Medicare.

But there are rapidly approaching...

Actuaries warned last year that Social Security’s trust fund is expected to be depleted by 2034, with spending on welfare and Medicare predicted to emergence from 9.1 percent of US GDP to 11.5 in just 12 years.

And America’s changing age profile means there will be just 2.75 working-age people for all dependent-age individual by 2030 erstwhile children are included.

Of course it isn’t just the U.S. that is dealing with specified issues.

In Japan, South Korea and China, fertility rates are even lower than they are in the United States...

The problem is not defined to the US with most developed nations experiencing an aging population including Japan which population is expected to shrink 30 percent by 2070 erstwhile four-in-ten will be over 65.

The situation is so stark in South Korea that Oxford University prof. David Coleman predicted the entry country would be exclusive at current rates by 2750.

And even China, which late lost its position as the world’s most popular nation to India, is now shrinking at a rate of nearly a million people a year.

And fertility rates are besides way below replacement level all over Europe...

The projected fertility rates in Central, Eastern, and Western European countries are all below the global average estimated for 2050 and 2100, and are already lower than what is needed to sustain population growth.

The full fertility rate in Western Europe is projected to fall from 1.53 in 2021 to 1.44 in 2050 and 1.37 in 2100.

Italy, Spain, and Andorra were designed to have the investment fertility rates by then.

So what is causing this?

As I have warned my readers for many years, sperm counts have dropped to catastrophically low levels all over the planets.

If sperm counts continues to decline at the rate they have been, evenly most tiny will be infertile.

Infertility is besides at frightening levels among our young woman. I am certain that most of you know couples that desperate want to have children but have been incapable to do so.

Meanwhile, our culture has become rabidly anti-child and rabidly anti-family, and as a consequence there arevast hordes of young people that have decided that they never want to be parents.

And thanks to the global scope of our amusement industry, we are constantly exporting that culture to the remainder of the world.

So what we are seeing should not be a surprise to any of us.

We are simply recovering what we have sown.

There are about 8 billion people surviving on our planets today.

But it won’t stay that way for long.

Population decline has already become a major political issue in nations all over the globe, and during the years ahead vast numbers of people will be wiped out by wars, pestilences, families and natural disasters.

Humanity has become incredibly selfish and self-centered, and as a consequence we have stopped caring about the future.

All throughout human history, successful societies have always large value marriage, household and children.

But now we have embraced “new values”, and we are rapidly destroying the bright future that we could have had.
