It is really fascinating how rapidly society has transformed on this issue. I have elderly relatives who are still parroting the notion that anywhere outside the West is having too many kids to have a stable population and that issue has been solved so well that countries are doing all they can to have more. |

It depends on what you consider the issue to be. If anyone is both an environmentalist/conservationist and honest about it, a reduction in population would be a good outcome for biodiversity and would permit rewilding land currently used for agriculture, housing, commerce, etc. In the context of our current economic systems, a declining population is a disaster waiting to happen.
