We have all lived in a world where populations have been exploding, and for good reason. Between advancements in technology and engineering, we've gotten really good at sustaining human life on our precious planet. But we're living in unprecedented times, and we might be looking at the height of human population before a collapse. In my research for this video, I uncovered some startling data, and we need to talk about this. Let's figure this out together!

Maybe we need a system that doesn't rely on growth.

I have three grown kids. None of them have kids. None of their friends have kids. Very few of my friends have grandkids.

When the baby boomers were booming there were many more single income homes. However, since 1978 the average salary for the CEO of a company has gone up 1, 478%. An example with my wife's company her bonus can be paid out as high as 10% of her salary. In her yearly performance review she exceeded expectations. She recieved 22% bonus payout of that 10% and no pay raise again for three straight years. Her CEO's bonus paid out at 242% of his annual salary and he received fotry-nine million dollars in stock for his performance last year. The land of milk and honey has turned to the land of hate and money. I fully understand people not wanting to have kids. They can live a much more comfortable lifestyle since CEO's are focusing on taking the whole pie and leaving their employees with crumbs.

truly the world is a funny place, first a complaint about overpopulation and now it's a complaint about population decline

Nobody ever seems to talk about changing the current system. All we care about is bringing in more indentured servants into this world.

When young people are struggling to settle, e.g. buying an apartment and social security is scarce, it's no wonder that having children is not on the priority list.

it may sound silly, but i learned a lot about how population crashes can be unintuitive and sneak up on you from a town building game called "banished". because life expectancy is far longer than child bearing age, its easy to miss the signs when it matters. before you know it, you dont have enough kids coming of age to replace workers and then you dont have enough of a workforce to support the existing population, and as the elderly suddenly start to rapidly die off and the existing workforce is retiring without leaving kids to take their places (because you didnt give them the opportunities they needed), suddenly your food supply and other critical resource supplies to keep people alive start to collapse and people start to die off en masse for reasons other than old age. and then, without extremely quick thinking and rapid changes to your economy, the newest adults find themselves in no position to be raising kids either so they dont and before you know it, they are also too old and thats game over. I've also seen population spikes from uncontrolled immigration cause the same thing.

I wish i could say, well thats just a game, its not realistic, but looking at the real world, although the systems may be a lot more complex, in the grand scheme of things, i'm seeing the same trends. if it takes an entire generation to fix our economy so that young adults can be comfortable raising families again, then that gap in the supply chain will start to snowball as that generation's small number of children starts to become our critical workforce. and without extremely rapid corrections to adjust our economy to support more people with a smaller workforce, which is frankly just completely unrealistic with the way things are currently run, we can expect even countries like the US to be suffering mass starvation and chaos due to collapsing supply chains within a couple generations. but the CEO's that currently rule this country dont care. they only care about maximizing their profits now, with no regards for anyone's future, and most of our workforce continues to work month to month or even week to week, without the breathing room to plan ahead or think about their future.

The internet has shined a light on who we really are and we've found that we don't like each other nor do we have to deal with each other anymore... When you don't have to deal with the crap of the opposite sex you won't! It's that simple!

[TheMuffinBagare]

As a swede, we already have many of the benefits for having children (such as paid maternity/paternity leave), but we still have this same problem with a birth rate that is dropping.

So it is not as easy as implementing a few policies to reverse this trend.

As a 22 year old Canadian guy the main thing holding me back from having kids is housing. I was raised by a single parent and lived in probably 12 different apartments/houses throughout my childhood. I just want a house but the cheapest houses within an hour from me are like half a million for old shitboxes😂

[chioxin]

I don't agree with tax credits that will encourage families to continue the "two income family" issue. I'd rather help but also encourage a one parent income. I don't care who stays home, woman or man... I just think there's value in encouraging one parent to stay home to tend the home and the children. To share and pass values, create and maintain their family traditions. To have fun... with their children. We need to get away from this two income family problem ... what's the point of more children, if you're to tired to pass on your values and traditions?

[kornydad]

I have 3 kids and only one of my kids wants to have kids and only one. Why? They all said it is just too expensive and they don't think they could afford to have kids. There is the problem, right from the horses mouth. Life is just to expensive.

The main problem with increasing the retirement age is not riots like in France, it’s the fact that living longer doesn’t mean being longer fit and healthy enough to deliver productivity on a competitive level. In my country, retirement age was increased to 67, but barely half of the people above 60 actually get a job. You have ever seen a 65 old grandma almost dying while pulling a pallet truck at snail speed, then you understand why increasing the retirement age doesn’t solve workforce scarcity.

Ricky, I believe you beautifully elucidated the problem, but have its solution dead wrong. I am a retired environmental science professor. For 11 years I taught the "demographic transition" in many of my SDSU classes.
We have discovered that our societal institutions are nothing less than a growth Ponzi scheme. The solution can't possibly be to feed more customers into the scheme. Human well-being must not depend on a continual supply of more humans. In the long run, the Earth's population cannot increase indefinitely, and I strongly believe it needs to decrease.
How can we do this without catastrophic societal consequences? Perhaps technology can be part of the answer. Perhaps pro-natal policies can slow the crash and give us more time to institute appropriate policies. But as a child of parents who endured the great depression, I can't help but feel that tightening the belt, learning some restraint, and valuing quality of life over quantity of life will be the biggest part of the solution.
In the long run I would favor a planet earth with FAR fewer humans on it, each living FAR better lives. Let's continue to honor women -- both their motherhood and their choice not to be mothers. Let's devalue social media and re-prioritize real world social life. But above all let's work together in the real world to create a healthy culture that can weather difficult times.

Population collapse isnt a crisis at all. The fact that it could happen naturally without drastic measures is something we should rejoice at. The economic system can change to accommodate this or if not it can be replaced.

I don't remember where I saw it, but I think the problem is pretty neatly summed up by "plants are the new pets, pets are the new children, and children are a pipe dream" in terms of how much just living costs. I don't think social media is why kids aren't dating. I think having to work wage-slave jobs and use every minute of time making money rather than connections is having a much harsher impact.

Here’s a huge problem:
People used to be able to pass on their gains to their children. Now, their kids have to use every last asset to pay for long term care. It’s evil what that industry has become; overpriced death factories.

[Kisaragi_desu]

The housing is unaffordable everywhere. The public transportation is overwhelmed all thr time. People are competing for a position with 1000s of others.
If anything we are experiencing overpopulation right now and NEED a population collapse.
