1 year agoUgh, I hate this argument. I always wonder: so what do you propose ? Many countries’ retirement system are built on the active population paying for the retired population. What do you think happens when there are more retired than actives?
Low birth rate is a real serious issue for many countries. The problem is not overpopulation, it’s poverty and how we manage our resources.
I mean if you’re concerned about the actual planet then don’t worry the Earth will survive with or without humans lol. If your concern is our survival as a species then that’s a different story.
