economic collapse

The world population will continue to increase significantly into the foreseeable future. The growth rate is the birth rate - the death rate. Barring some cataclysmic event, the birth rate will continue to outpace the death rate.

Even a miniscule 1.098% annual increase (which is that of 2012) means that in 2012, the world population increased by about 77,900,000....that's 77,900,000 resource hungry people more than in 2011...and this number already factors in those who died in 2012.

Our children and their children are in big trouble people and our own generation is to blame to a large degree.
Q) Is the population growing because A) We are breeding like rabbits OR B) Because we are no longer dying like flies?
A) B
Q If the population is increasing because we are no longer dying like flies is this population increase sustainable?
A) No it is not sustainable and population will crash based entirely on physical restraints of human aging. (death n taxes n all that)
Q) Are you sure?
A) Don't bother believing me just open your eyes and watch japan... if you can believe your own eyes

Life expectancy is on the increase, as it should be with all that research, and that is the main reason for the growth.

Live birhs are also improving, and child mortality is good.

Birth rates are going down, but NOT world wide! The population MUST increase!

From Demographic Boom To Dependency Bust
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-06-19/demographic-boom-dependency-bust
he economic and asset bubble in Japan burst in 1990, at roughly the same time as its demographic structure reached a tipping point. As UBS' George Magnus notes, the working age population began to fall, marking the start of a relentless rise in both the total and old age dependency ratios; and, he adds, a comparable phenomenon occurred in the US and Europe between 2005-2010. On current trends, Magnus warns, China will replicate at least the demographic part of this phenomenon between now and 2016, against a backdrop of rising concern about the structural nature of the slowdown in economic growth, along with rising credit intensity, indebtedness, and misallocation of resources.
