I disagree with Kurtz that wealth means people having less children. The problem most people are facing is the exact opposite. Everything is far too expensive to afford a family. Meanwhile the the elites of the world take out money away.

the wealth effect on birth rates is more based on 1st vs 3rd world levels of wealth rather than the relative wealth within individual nations, most 1st World nations are wealthier but the average cost of living is also higher, meanwhile most 3rd world may have relatively less wealth but also lower cost of living.

The gap between children people want vs how many they're having seems to have reasons. But we never ask the parents why they are not haivng as many children as they want. It probably is correctly said a mix of housing space, caretaking burden, and finance.

2:45-Yea,that is a big "if". It might actually be WORSE!

The original video keeps talking in hypotheticals like "in the future old people are going to make a lot of decisions that younger people don't want" and "young people are going to have to work more hours" as if all of these things aren't already happening in the present. I wish they had framed it more-so as "these problems will get worse" rather than framing in such a way that leads one to believe these things aren't already happening.

Young people are still working but a pair of old peoples (if they have more than two child) multiple children to support them and their financial needs whereas imagine in the future your grandparents decided to have one child then then that child decides to have one child only too , now the entire burden goes to the single child to take care of his grandparents and parents or others(if any). In such a situation a child will have to work a lot more than will have to sacrifice things to support the financial needs.

I'd love it if you made a video about a channel called "the proper people" specifically them exploring an abandoned nuclear power plant..

This is a random observation I just made but we have the exact same headset for listening to videos

Question about nuclear reactors: are there fail-safes installed (like a dead man's switch) so that if a running plant were to be instantly evacuated over an extended period of time, that the plant would shutdown?

In the future robots will do all the work.

From what i understood in like the early 1900s there were lots of larger families due to farms, etc and needing help for everything. At the time everything was manual or horsepower, etc now things are mechanized, and can do more in the same time period. Without that need anymore and the costs, downsides I think it has not become such a big deal to people. Another from my thinking too is things like autism, diabetes, etc. that could be inherited can also be a factor in not wanting to have kids as then they get it possibly too and the parent don't want a child to suffer from the ailments or take the risk. Also healthcare costs/no universal healthcare and cost of just a babysitter is sometimes near as much as one parent may make, add in college, etc too. It also seems to me there is no real great maternity leave system either I really think should be longer and ideally both parents get it and based on the job, their needs they should be able to alternate so even at 3 months if they staggered that is 6 months. I think another thing is there are no real classes or anything i know of on parenting and then what may be done in school now or the rules i knew could be totally different now too. I don't think it is an unsolvable problem it would just take some work changing some things and perhaps some sort of a support thing to help the new parents learn the best care methods and how to teach them what they need to know, etc.

It's a political problem. People don't want to have kids in rich countries because kids are a burden. It costs a lot of money and commitment to care and pay for a child for 18 years. In opposition to that, in rural and underdevelopped communities, children are cheap labor that will directly sustain you when you grow too old to work the field yourself. The government can control these factors be offering benefits and support for raising children, making health care more accessible, offering free education and free meals at school, allowing parents paid maternal leave, etc. But this requires a government that is not corrupt and profit oriented, like in the US.

The reason why we can extrapolate to some degree is because it takes roughly about 25 years before we create humans that create new humans. Similar to the population bounce effect from wars, we know how many 0-10 year old (and 10-20 year old) humans we have, and how many baby producing humans we would have in 25 years and know that in the next 25 years we will not have have enough workforce to sustain the current 40-50 year olds we have right now, not without immigration at least.

It would be interesting if you watched "The Chernobyl Iceberg Explained REMASTERED" trilogy made by the channel That Chernobyl Guy.

[insert comment about how awesome his content is here]

I mean I hope it changes in the future because we are already seeing old folks who are out of touch with the current timeline that they don't even know what the internet is already doing things mainly for short term profits and worst pushing the ideas that short term profits are the way to go to younger generations.

you cant extrapolate like they do in this video... this is reading statistics in a way that fits your narrative. this is making to many assumptions... this is like assuming that in the middle ages everyone was fit and contributing cause they where under 30, but a person in their 30s back then was in a similar health state then perhaps a 40 years old today... then they draw a conclussion that makes no sense at all regarding older population and short therm thinking, europe has the oldest population in the world and is leading the work towards environment...

I feel automation is what will shift this trend. There is of course the Luddite "but my job!" reaction, and unlike the historical Luddites, this time it's true that automation will be a net loss of jobs. But it's also happening when we have a net loss of laborers. We've had complaints from truckers that self driving trucks will take their jobs...and yet we don't have that technology working yet and we have a shortage of people willing to do trucking jobs. We have shortages in the US of most kinds of skilled physical labor right now because we're not replacing them fast enough to keep up with retirements of a still-larger generation that didn't have replacement levels of offspring and who balked at the societal costs of allowing higher immigration rates. The smart strategy would be to automate as much labor as we feasibly can and educate people towards filling in the gaps in automation. I fully expect to see pharmacies employ automation in the next 15 years to solve the current pharmacist shortage that's happening even as pharmacies consolidate. I also expect to see more automation in medical treatment to deal with diagnosis and other tasks that require a lot of dedicated professional time. The catch is that these are never smooth transitions, largely because people are resistant to continuing education. Ultimately, we need fewer human labor hours required per person to sustain a generally older population and we'll either see that happen through automation or deaths. If the system breaks down and healthcare suffers, people will die younger and the system will balance itself out in a horrifying way, so I'm hoping automation fills the gap. While reducing the hours worked of individual employees in their prime is best for society, I don't see that happening until automation is there to pick up the slack. We're already seeing states lowering the barriers to child labor, so it's abundantly clear ethics won't be the driver. Given the nonsensical arguments I usually get whenever I mention automation - I'll point out that it's a trend, not a thing people get a vote on. My opinion on it doesn't matter, nor does the opinion of the people who reply about it. For good or bad, it either will or won't happen based on how technology progresses, regardless of who we elect, what we "vote with our wallets" by buying, or what we protest. Automation is an unavoidable economic pressure once it's developed. And as the historical Luddites demonstrated, even organized criminal destruction of property doesn't stop automation being developed or implemented.

Notification Squad! :D

13:57-Dude,the whole point is about how the population will NOT keep it's current trend.

As a Korean, the reasons we are literallly an enderangerd species LOL and dying out is because of a few things the major big one being the crazy work culture. People spend too much time at work that forming real and lasting relationships is near impossible. Unlike the west the average korean can be working 60 to 80hrs a week if not more. This has made it where people find it hard to make a relationship let alone have kids. This extends into the younger generations as well as school is also highly sought after and competitive, so high school and college ends up with similar scheduales as people goto cram schools and other acessory education programs. Then we also have a hughe housing crisis and inflation crisis in korea, where your won/dollar doesnt go that far, so you are working too hard and too long to never be able to afford a house, let alone pay for rent in a apartment. Who wants to raise kids when kids are too expensive to have? This has lead to the destruction of the traditional family/ nuclear family, as the Women prefer working more because of the situation and thus do NOT want to be left at home raising kids or be put out of work on maternity leave for x amount of time. This has lead to the extreme break down where NOBODY wants a serious relationship outside of convient sex and thats it as trying to have a real relationship is next to impossible with all the stresses and bs, plus the crazy exspense makes both decide kids arent worth it. Why have kids when i cant afford them? why have kids so we can both be miserable instead of chasing our dreams/hobbies in our nonfufilling lives as we make no money to do shit with? there's a reason here in Korea we have a saying called "jooseon hell" it practically means korean life is hell, theres a big reason we have huge mental health issues and the highest suicide rates on earth. Also towns being abandoned does happen in Japan and in Korea as more wealth etc is concentrated in big cities most of the youth and mid age people move there, leaving the old folks to maintain the town, then they die out and its just an empty place left, this isnt uncommon you can see them if you go travel the country, hell in japan the gov will pay you to move there and have kids in an attempt to revive the country, as very important tasks are forgotten when people leave/ die like old school farming and other things that are essential that modern city dwellers take for granted

Yes, it is fair if you want to

Maybe the fastest way to slow down climate change is to help the Chinese and other countries replace coal plants with something better. It is more expensive to have kids so the it is not people getting richer that is behind the population decline according to my source.

Something that isn't considered by this video is that most current work will be done by machines and ai before long. So the lower numbers of people will simply be required to maintain said machines and eventually not even that. Obviously some jobs will still require a human hand to do but most manufacturing and resource gathering jobs won't require them.

Everything cost more, more workhours, less personal time, less salary (in relative term). Population fall. Surprise Pikachu meme.

Please, react to the John Oliver video on nuclear waste🙏🏻☢️

Overpopulation has never been a problem in the world and likely never will be(see current population trends). We have an over crowding problem. Everyone centralizes into places where many services and comforts are available. Where people centralize, predators and criminality rise. Trust breaks down and community fragments. When people don't trust their neighbors, they don't form family bonds and don't have kids.

Population estimates shifted because of the fear of over population. Things shift, yes. The video is just extrapolating.

Careful questioning Kurzgesagt, you can end up labelled a right wing conspiracy theorist

EARLY GANG

I guess on the gender pay bit, the oversimplified story is that women earn less than men because of sex discrimination in pay within men and women doing the same duties with the same job title when in reality it is more an artifact of men and women having different compositions of jobs and working different amounts of time in their respective markets. I don't see them as using it as a point on why society is sexist or anything as people use the simplified face-value statistics, but rather employing it as evidence as to how the culture of child rearing/raising is upstream of women, especially mothers, pursuing flexible and lower wage jobs rather than fulfilling, advanceable, yet time consuming careers so as to be better care takers. I think that the first two potential solutions they say of flexible child care and direct childcare subsidies are evidence to this as they are essentially saying what could fix the fertility crisis is either 1, lowering disincentives of having a child in terms of sacrificed time away from a career for women thus also helping to lower the pay gap, or 2, create incentives for having a child through directly offering money that would replace the burden on one of the parents and allowing them to become more full time care givers without worrying about the tradeoff between working to give their child a better life while having to spend time away from the child in order to do so. The housing cost I believe would just indirectly help the crisis in terms of lowering disincentives for family building, but there are many potential solutions for this like maybe a public marriage ceremony equity fund or reforming the tax code to decrease taxes on families of a given size while also increasing subsidies for societally productive familial activities like schooling costs, vacationing, and matching the remaining equity loss from family leave programs up to 100% (which you could then redo the corporate tax code in tandem to incentivize them through subsidies and tax benefits to have and improve any family leave).

Nah

Without legal abortion I wonder what these numbers would be. The poor are the ones most likely to have children and the ones more likely to have abortions. Women are the ones most likely to take time off to have children so they have less years of experience on average. They are also the ones most likely to work fewer hours. They are less likely to travel further to work for better paying jobs. They are less likely to take more dangerous jobs. All of these things contribute to their earning less money. On the other hand having a career contributes to their having fewer kids while the poor women are not likely to have time consuming careers.

lots of studies have proven that legalized abortions have not caused any meanigful change in population decrease or increase and, in fact, many abortions are preformed on women who already have 2-3 children and cannot afford to have another.
