The article discusses a personal perspective on declining fertility rates, illustrating its impact on family and correlating it with India's population growth. Over generations, the author's family fertility rate dropped dramatically, reflecting a global trend where countries like the U.S. and Japan face declining rates. While some view population decline as beneficial for resource management and climate concerns, the author warns against complacency. Immediate action for climate change is necessary, as solutions are required sooner than population decline can contribute to sustainability, highlighting the urgent need for decarbonization efforts.
A population crisis is unfolding not just globally, but in my family; fertility rates have plummeted from 10 to less than 1 generation by generation.
Fertility rates have declined dramatically worldwide, suggesting a demographic transition, as seen in Indiaâa striking case of a plummeting fertility rate.
While some argue that fewer people may mean less competition for resources, the real challenge is rapid decarbonization to combat climate change.
The timelines for addressing climate change and population decline are misaligned; we need immediate action against climate issues.
