1. Declining population is good news

Why the presenter thinks that a declining population is a bad thing reflects an outdated paradigm. Population growth may make a nation more influential on the world stage but it doesn't mean life is better for the citizens of that country to say nothing of the global impact of overpopulation. Getting global population to a sustainable number is essential if we are going to have any kind of liveable future. Doing it through a reduced birth rate is by far the least disruptive method. The alternatives of resource wars, famine or pestilence are all much worse for everyone.
