That does seem to be both the trend and the issue.

I sincerely hope, you are incorrect because if you are correct human civilization is doomed.
Having commuted to work in Tokyo I can understand why Japan has a falling birth rate. Too bad the government won't leave well enough alone and let future generations experience a decent quality of life. Perhaps letting teenagers experience the Tokyo commute would be as helpful in cutting the birth rate as having them carry around watermelons to simulate pregnancy.
Still, having reviewed all of the posts here, I see something missing and want to drag everyone back to it.
Which major problems confronting us are, at their heart, caused by our inability to control our global and regional populations? And why is it we never confront the underlying issue when discussing them?
For example why not cut the population over the next 50 years rather than searching for more oil? Why not cut the population over the next 50 years rather than building more schools?
