The Shift from Population Boom to Baby Bust

The world isn't heading for a population explosion; it's heading for a baby bust.

Global fertility rates are falling rapidly. The magic number to keep a population

stable is 2.1 kids per woman, and many countries are now way below that.

It’s a huge switch-up. China used to have a one-child policy to slow things down. Now,

countries like Japan are actually trying to encourage more births because their population is shrinking.

The UK has a low birth rate too, but our population is still growing and getting older,

mainly due to immigration. The future isn't about overpopulation; it's about an ageing world.
