Yeah China is set to lose about 500 million people by 2100. They are going to peak in the next few years so they are about 25 years ahead of India.

It is bound to happen. As populations grow and countries get wealthier, the number of children decline. This happens all over the world.

So the fear of overpopulation, in the next 20-25 years, the mantra will be the fear of underpopulation and there wont be enough people for us to survive as a species.

Yeah when the survey results were announced , they tied the population / fertility rate to two things .

  1. Wealth
  2. Education of women .

The more educated a woman is the less number of children she will have .
