It is predicted by researchers that there may be a notable decrease in the global population in the near future.

If current trends continue, the world population will reach 8.6 billion by mid-century, before falling by nearly 2 billion by the end of the century.

Depopulation will ease the burden of environmental problems somewhat, but it will not solve them. In addition, the decrease in the number of inhabitants of the planet in general will make humanity older, thus reducing the proportion of working and non-working people.

“We know that rapid economic development in poorer countries has a profound effect on birth rates.

Fertility declines when women have access to education and become economically independent, as well as have access to better health care,” the researchers said.

Researchers are also analyzing the relationship between population size and the planet’s ability to support it. It has been discovered that the population of the planet is not the determining factor in climate change. Instead, the world’s richest individuals and their high consumption of resources are to blame.
