Population collapse is the greatest problem facing humanity, says demographer Paul Morland

NTD's Lee Hall sits down with demographer and author Paul Morland to discuss how the lack of births and deaths is changing the world we live in.
Paul talks about developed societies moving towards societal collapse. As people become more educated, wealthy and comfortable, their priorities change and family sizes shrink.
He also talks about the immigration situation in Britain, the fall of Japan, and why the whole world will become more African by the end of the century.

    We will get absolutely no support, emotional, financial or practical, for having children. We are just expected to have them so those who want the endless wars have the human resources to do that and then we have to deal with the PTSD etc. It’s just barmy and we figured that out a long time ago.

    Here is a pill to swallow: men and women dont like each other very much, still men have a biological problem to address daily and women have material problems to address daily. Kids are just a side effect of those daily needs. On the other hand, men are visionary, they think of Rome every day, so when committed, they care for their offsprings, care so much, that they put up with the nonsenses of the marriage -up to a point. Now that feminism through their war on boys and men had ruined males motivation to marry, females are in disabled mode: they dont know what to do. By reaching their 40s, they hit the wall and invest in cats. Nobody have told them not to waste their fertile years. Feminists had lied to them, told "men and children are not important, carrier is important". How a hypergamous female can find a partner, who has a better education and a better job, when both of those were given to her and to other females? Civilization is sick with cancer and this cancer cant be cured by men.

    Depopulation is a MUST for the future of man if man is to survive on a reasonable level. Depop must go on as a priority all around the world, reducing to 1 billion people ideally, and 2 billion people max. We have to exit the contemporary open free-market capitalism scam for an environmentally green plan that enables sustainability in nature. This Western world economy is a scam that must be revised if man and the natural environment are to survive. The talk in this video is bunk by an old economist who either does not see or cannot see what present man is doing in the overall destruction of the natural environment.

    Your comment is clearly racist. He talks about immigration as a short term solution only and doesn't mention 'importing Africans or Pakistanis to run the busses' or presumably any public services - that is in your mind only and reveals your own particular prejudice. Britain is a country of immigrants over many centuries, like the US is over a few centuries. If you consider yourself of Anglo Saxon heritage your ancestors were foreign. or maybe they werer Irish, or maybe Norman, could be Danish (Viking), or yes maybe Indian subcontinent or carribean (or anywhere else the British colonial empire exploited). I hope you understand this. You are of foreign descent. The point being made is that falling birth and fertlity rates now, coupled with falling death rates - due apparently to unplanned childness mainly, alongside better healthcare etc will create serious problems moving forward. A shrinking but aging population means there will be less people of working age to provide a tax base to support that same aging population, - pensions? the NHS? - not to mention less people of working age to do all the socially necessary work - again - especially with an aging population. Technology will fill some of the gap no doubt, but untill the population stabilises (at a much lower level) the coming decades will inevitably engender economic crisis. Immigration isn't any long term solution, because all countries are on the same demographic trajectory, and quite possibly developed countries will soon be fighting for immigrants to keep the ship afloat. The only real upside is that after the climate stabilises in a century's time (maybe) there will be less demand for resources, and zero carbon technologies mean human society might recover and once again flourish. But probably only if capitalismj gives way to socialism and on a world scale - that, or it's dystopia for ever.

    The dependency ratio is higher when woman have babies and care for them. A child is two dependents: the child itself and the adult who must supervise/teach him. In the 1970s, women stopped having babies and became taxpayers themselves, resulting in an abnormally low dependency ratio. There was a massive increase in the work force. An ageing population is a case of supporting the elderly instead of children and their mothers.

    The "problem" part of this is that there isn't enough population collapse. We're dependent on economic systems that depends on population growth and we simply don't know how to have a functional economy with a declining population, sadly that is the good part. Not to worry, it's a self solving problem, industrialization is a fantastically effective population reducer. The timing couldn't be better, because flood and famine are fantastic migration inducers. In less than a century at least ten percent of the global population is going to move because where they live now is becoming too hot and too wet. Even if we were to magically decide as a species to deal with the damage we are doing, the highest growth populations are currently in those geographic areas worst situated from a climate change perspective. All those folks are going to move to where the population is supposedly collapsing.

    Well described but even so, the carrying capacity of a given area (not over using Earth resources ie self-sufficiency) should be factored into total population of a given area. Population used to be an asset to classical economics. This might change with AI/Robotics where those generate value not people? In fact fewer people, higher quality living of those people using Earth resources within limits seems a far more enlightened outcome than the current demand for population growth as you point out correctly.

There will be much destruction of the natural environment caused by man but man will pay the ultimate price if he does not start to change his ways quickly. I will bet no money on man pulling out of his overpopulation dilemma successfully.

Another demographer has a video up here I think it’s called “the religious shall inherit the Earth“ which explores this a bit more, in fact according to his research he believes that the world is going to get more religious even in the developed world. Due to religious people having higher fertility rates And immigrants coming in 10 to have higher levels of religiosity, who then go on to have children.

    Just make sure not to mistake correlation for causation. It might be that the same people who tend to have children tend towards religiosity, not that religiosity leads to having children.

Doing the correlation-Causation thing is often away to dodge the obvious. And in this case it is that everywhere you look in the world you see this pattern of religious people having more kids, even when all the other differences are factored in. This is true in China (mostly athiest) Russia, Israel, USA, Italy. The fertility of Atheists are so low, we should consider what the long term effects of "heritable traits" in decline in humans, if this will be good or bad. For another example, we know Intelligence is partly heritable. If the most intelligent persons are NOT passing on their genes at the rate that the least intelligent people are, what would be the effect 5-10-20 generations out?

    Yes, supporting a large elderly population with very little young people will cause a lot of problems in the short term. Although, in the long-term a smaller population will be much better for humanity. With less people there will be less competition for jobs, less competition for housing, higher wages,more equality, less competition for resources, better cohesion, less pollution among other benefits. Mass immigration/over population in the west is what’s causing the majority of the issues today. If we just let the population collapse run it’s course without artificially propping it up with mass immigration things will get much better in the long run.

Yet here we are with this AH demaning more population via more migration (that's what it will lead to). Many people are doing BS jobs are are unproductive. Technology will take up the slack there.

    Lol at this misanthropic comment section. Utilizing technological advancements, we can still support a growing human population. In fact, researchers have found that with population growth, resources have traditionally become more abundant, especially within the context of how long it takes to work to attain something (time prices). It’s a phenomenon called “superabundance” coined by Cato Institute senior researcher Marian Tupy. Today, we can yield greater harvests from smaller plots of land and with less water due to drought-resistant GMOs, etc. We have to plan well, but the planet can still sustain billions of more people. A collapsing population is absolutely a problem, even with AI and robots in the workforce. A robot doesn’t pay taxes. A robot can’t support retirement pensions. Robots can’t fully take care of the needs of an elderly population. Having children will allow you, me, our children to be able to not toil the rest of our lives…

Women are throwing off the chains of slavery by not having children, and by and large it is the men who are whinging, not the women. Until having children is paid what it is worth, NEITHER men nor women will want to stay at home and raise the next generation and we'll stay below replacement. The economy is s***wed anyway. Mathematically, you cannot have infinite growth, and the population will decline at some point anyway, whether now or in 100 years. What the question is, is how a decline should be managed.

    Education makes you more consistent at making choices that benefit you. While having children benefits society, it does not necessarily benefit you. That’s why there’s an argument for society having to step up to cover the cost of having children, instead of the individual who is having the children. Right now, those costs are not yet being covered for, and until it happens, there will be no incentive to have children. Oh, so what happens if society can’t afford to cover the costs? Gee sounds a lot like the most prosperous time in human history hasn’t done a very good job of spreading that prosperity around. I wonder if there’s a critique of global capitalism buried somewhere in there?

    Alternatively, you can just take the education away so that people go back to making the bourgeoisie happy without complaining. With education comes the ability to see how fucked things are.

    Malthusian nonsense. The only thing that is reducing resources is the climate death cult and their ridiculous religious demands. How many children and grandchildren do you have? If you are fifty or younger these are the only people who will look after you when you are old. Physically or financially. Population only increases in the west due to mass immigration. Do you really think they will devote their life and taxes to your well-being in old age?

    He is not chasing growth but stability in favour of contraction and societal collapse. I'm Australian, and came to listen to Moorland, but I believe our country's are similar in the following regard. Our birthrates have been at or slightly below replacement since about the middle 1950s. All growth beyond that point has been achieved by government policies of mass immigration. Our last census shows that half the people living in our country are immigrants who arrived fairly recently. This artificially increases the cost of housing. It also breaks down social cohesion atomising community strength and safety. And both of these things prevent people having children. Nobody wants to raise a family in a single room in a share house in a high crime neighbourhood.

    @@simonacerton3478 I agree. Though to be fair when comparing Australia to the USA, our population is much smaller than the US. But that's why I call it a Ponzi scheme. Post war immigrants actually got a higher standard of living. Today they come to drive Uber and sleep four to a room. But it has deeper applications. Our last census shows that half the people voting in the country are recent immigrants. So are we still a democracy? We currently have a major housing crisis with even working families with children facing homelessness. The government solution, bring in a million migrants as soon as possible. This will make it even harder for young people to form families. They don't care. They have a million more voters to manipulate. It doesn't matter who you vote for its been the same outcome for decades. It's planned replacement.

    @@baassiia The needs of children are unpredictable and often inconvenient. When the mother cares for the children, or asks her employer for time off to take care of their needs, she is investing in the earning power of the child's father at the expense of her own. And he is entitled to discard her and take his career with him to share with a woman who has done nothing but invest in her own earning power. When women are forced into single parenthood, that means poverty and/or a very stressful existence, juggling paid employment with child care. A woman who gains custody of her children continues to subsidize her ex's career by relieving him of the inconvenience of the needs of his own children.
