Submission statement: global fertility rates are tanking. With the most cited cause being the increase cost of having kids. This is especially true in heavily urbanized developed countries. This trend will shape global geopolitics for the next century.

Imo: the fertility crisis is the biggest threat to global stability in the comming century. We are currently in the transition phase from having a majority under 50 population in most of the world to a majority over 50 population. This is already hitting east asia. Europe and Canada have about 5-10 years . Then the rest of the Americas, south asia, and africa.
It’s already started. And there’s nothing we can do about it in the short term, anything we try will take 16 years minimum to show an impact.
No economic system or policy is designed for a world where the economy gets smaller every year, no system to keep standards of living up through a permanent depression. But what is guaranteed is that the powers who are facing demographic collapse are Done. Atleast for a century, but if the demographic collapse doesn’t get reversed then they will literally vanish off the world map. You can’t patch this with immigration, there aren’t enough immigrants
