@ crissindahouse Yeah, white people are dooming ourselves with the love of the condom and pill. It actually seems to be result of any society living at high living standards and more often when females are given equal rights. No problem for me we could sure stand to lose a couple billion. Send condoms, to China, India and Africa I say.

i believe china isn't a big problem anymore. i believe they aren't growing much for some years now because of their restrictions. the biggest problem is africa and india (and some other asian countries), they grow unbelievable fast, as more people there live as more people need help, waterproblems and things like that are horrible there and they still grow so fast...

one reason why people in developed countries don't get as many kids is because they don't need them anymore to care for them when they will be old. in the past, people got 10 kids because they "needed" them to help on the farm and to help them if they can't work anymore for themselve. there wasn't a annuity insurance in the past, if you didn't have kids and couldn't work, you couldn't live anymore.

and yes you are right and asbad as it sounds, more rights for woman means more demographic problems in developed countries. they want to start own careers now, no wonder many don't want to get some kids anymore because they wish to climb up the career ladder. it's good that they have these rights, but its bad for the demographic change in countries with a very low birth rate.

So far China's population is still on the rise though you are right it suspected to slowly decline in 20 -30 years. Even when it declines it will still be way above a healthy amount and many of the people will gain greater standards of living and put a larger strain on the earths finite resources. I still consider their population a huge problem.

Yes, I agree developed countries no longer use children for monitary gain which is a good thing. I am still surprised that at least in urban areas of India the population would be growing so fast. They often even do not keep female children alive especially if they are the first born. In the rural areas though I can see that they would still use both sexes for needed labor, but as far as i know the population is very urban and often tries to emulate the US in language and tight-knit working communities. I would think these types of individuals would be moving towards the idea that having less children is a good think. Hard to judge.

Yeah, I would say that carrers would definantly give women less reason to want more children, but I also see it on both sides as males no longer want many children and want a wife/gf that works. I know I do.
