After worrying about overpopulation for decades do we now have to worry about underpopulation? The fertility rate is declining in all technologically advanced countries. It is now below 2 children per woman in South Korea, Japan, the USA, and all European countries.
Why is this happening? And what will it lead to? What will it be like to live in these aging countries? There will not be enough young people to do the work, have the new ideas, run the country. And who will feed and amuse all the old people? And what will happen when all the poorer countries join us?
Come and discuss our future in GeekSpeak. Bring your kids!
IM Vulcan Viper, who teaches a meditation class at 1pm every Wednesday in the GeekSpeak auditorium, if you have ideas for new subjects.
