Garrus said: "In the grand scheme of things overpopulation isn't that big of a problem" A collapsing population is a bad thing. A stable not growing one for a large population country is good. ----- The problem in Asia is the youth population 0-5 years old is almost half the 40-45. A stable population would now require 4 kids per family to avert losing half the population. That is not good. |
That's the situation China finds itself in. Its population is aging faster than its wealth. And even with the one-child policy lifted, a lot of them are simply choosing to opt out of raising families.
