Interesting stats. Currently world pop approx increase every 100 days is equivalent to Australias total pop. Is our planet overpopulated atm and how will overpopulation affect Australia into the future decades. Economy, food, water, drought, immigration, global financial collapse , China 1 child only policy........ The population of the world increases about 250,000/day = 2,500,000/10 days = 25,000,000/100 days https://www.livepopulation.com/ Australias population is about to hit 25,000,000 maybe later this month. http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/94713ad445ff1425ca25682000192af2/1647509ef7e25faaca2568a900154b63?OpenDocument
Overpopulation is the main cause of the world's problems.Nobody doing anything about it.Eventually it will destroy us all.
we can put all the people living into Australia and there are plenty of land to spare. there is not over populated yet
Yes but we need infrastructure and water etc to make this happen........ maybe adopt a 1 child policy like China.... I do not think it is all about jobs and growth like Turnbull says. What about sustainability , it really needs to be seriously considered.
The world’s population has increased rapidly over the past century due to improvements in health and living conditions. Poverty has declined remarkably and prosperity has risen sharply. As the effects of improving economic outcomes for the poorer parts of the world are realised, it is likely that at some point in the future the planet’s population will stabilise. This may take another 30 years. Add to this the human capacity to utilise technology to solve our problems and the future is bright.
80+ million new people per year -- that's like a new Shanghai, a new Beijing, a new New Delhi, a new Lagos, and a new Tianjin being added every year. Population growth rate is highest in Africa - look at those fertility rates and median age. I'm afraid hope and optimism may not be entirely warranted, shiney...

Also with the rapid increase of AI , Artifical Intelligence increasingly replacing human workers there will be less jobs going in the future.
Yep, it will take some time before fertility rates are brought down. But it will happen, as it's happened everywhere else. I'll post some stats later. Edit to add: can I have the link your table? I'll paraphrase bordsilver here, who are the AI workers going to produce goods for?

Thanks jultorsk, these snapshots in time sometimes paint a misleading picture. yennus's link to Hans Rosling, a man who spent his life devoted to debunking myths presents data over a period of time. This is a far more accurate picture of what's happening and what is likely to continue to happen in the future.
