Worldwide, we are seeing a dramatic decrease in the birthrate. This is particularly pronounced in the developed nations but the trend extends to most of the planet. Experts are predicting that we will see a global population drop that will derail economies and create a medical crisis for nations with aging populations. By the end of the century, for example, Spain and Japan will see their populations halved. Still, we see a desire to prevent children from being born as if human births were the real threat. It is as if there is a cultural death wish.
Currently, population growth is slowing. Researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation showed the global fertility rate nearly halved to 2.4 in 2017 - and their study, published in the Lancet, projects it will fall below 1.7 by 2100, which is well below replacement rate. To put this another way, we are seeing the emptying of the earth's human population during the 21st century.
The fall in population will at first be gradual, but as older human beings die in numbers far greater than replacement births, the decline will become a population crash. Economies and whole societies will be negatively affected, but the mainstream media is not talking about this looming crisis. Instead, the desire to restrict the birthrate--even using abortion as an alternative method of birth control--seems to be the promoted message. But it is the depopulation crisis that is ahead of us, not a climate crisis. The earth has warmed before in history with no help from human beings. Despite historic periods of plagues, famines, and natural catastrophes, an enduring global period of birth rates plunging below replacement, with consequent global depopulation, has never before been witnessed in recorded history. The crash of the global human population is what looms just ahead in human history.

Well put.
