    There are already way, way too many people on the planet.

      And most of them are in Asia, old and about to die in 25 years or so.

        The population on China and India is still growing. Have birth rates dropped below replacement levels?

          population on China and India is still growing.

          China is already declining.

          Have birth rates dropped below replacement levels?

          Yes, India is already below replacement levels and dropping further.

            Thanks for the sources. Interesting to see that “The number of new births a year has nearly halved since 2016” in China.

              That’s what demographic collapse looks like. Birth rate drops a cliff because the population finds itself suddenly without people in fertile age.
