Daily chart: how long do countries have until their populations disappear? Fertility rates are falling in many nations. If present trends continue unbroken, the populations of Japan, Germany, Russia, Italy and Spain will not survive the next millennium.

Hmmmm I’d love to know where Ireland is on this graph.

Can people make up their minds.  National Geographic is making this huge big deal about the global population reaching 7 billion this year and people are always saying ‘the world is overpopulated’, yet on the other hand people are freaking out because we’re not having enough kids. I’m confused.
