    Russia is seeking a crackdown on material that supposedly
    discourages having children. Russian President Vladimir Putin
    has urged couples to have children as the country's birth
    rate drops.

    . . .

    This is becoming a big issue across much of the globe.

    Russia, of course, has gone the authoritarian route.
    In a year or two I'd kinda expect a "baby quota" to
    be imposed. Breed, or go to the back of the line.

    Something like this may soon be seen in a number of
    other countries. SK and Japan are in *the* worst
    population situations - demographics show that the
    pop-replacement rate is now less than HALF 'replacement'.

    Neither culture will survive this for long. Foreign
    workers are being imported in droves already and in
    a gen or so THEY will be the masters. 'Japan' will
    be a real-estate description, not a country/culture.

    No civilization is compelled to constantly grow in population. Anyone
    can see where that leads.

    So we have a period of time where we have only 6 or 7 billion people
    instead of 8 billion. I don't see that as a catastrophe. The Earth could
    be a heaven on Earth with a billion people on the planet.
