Tangentially, I am amazed at the data in your source about how fast population growth is leveling off in the US. In 2020, the census projected US population to continue growing and cross 400 million by 2058 [1]. This projection accounts for the observed trends in falling fertility rate and assumes relatively constant rate of immigration: >By 2030, immigration is projected to become the primary driver of population
>growth: more people are projected to be added to the population through net
>international migration than from natural increase. The projected shift to net
>international immigration as the primary driver of population growth is the
>result of falling fertility rates and the rising number of deaths in an aging
>population, not because of a projected increase in international migration. I guess the pandemic broke a lot of those assumptions. We will see if they hold in the long run though. [1]: https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicatio... |
