]]> Are we on the brink of population collapse? Some economists and tech billionaires (like Elon Musk) think so. As noted in a recent NY Times article about Peak Population, birth rates are declining, and some argue an aging population could strain social services and hurt the economy.

Here’s what changing demographics might mean for our planet and the future.

]]> Is the Earth over or under populated? For many decades the Earth’s population has grown astronomically but as the growth rate slows and eventually started to decline, could it be that our planet is underpopulated? Elon musk and other internet personalities are adamant that humanity is heading for a new population crisis – underpopulation. As technology, healthcare and AI all improve, humans are having less children and living longer, meaning quite simply, the Earth’s population will decrease. In this video, we will investigate the countries most at risk of population decline. The Geography Bible
