Finally, Some Good World Population Perspectives

Is the world on track for overpopulation because of Mormons, Catholics and other ignorant demographic groups in Africa and India? Will Social Security implode because of an aging population whose fertility rates are insufficient to replace the outgoing workforce?

Here is a great article outlining the opposing positions, each using the same data as evidence. Which do you think interprets the data correctly?

  1. Great article, and interesting perspective I thought. Good point that UN and others post numbers to scare people, but when you look at what they really mean (1 in 4 will be over 60) it totally changes things.
