I think you also forgot about to mention the trend of only keeping sons when the one child policy was implemented, this caused a disproportionate amount of men over women in the population, and how this also affects how the country as a whole "reproduce".

a massive factor that is not often talked about is how industrialization destroyes traditional societies, and in some cases does not replace them with anything. in pre-industrial socieites women exclusively took care of children for the most part while men did most of the work, industrialization and especially industrial-era war changed this, but childcare then became a political issue. and thus nations dominated by ideologies opposed to childcare provisions were left with no industrial era alternative to traditional childcare, thus raising children now comes with serious logisical issues for many people who are expected to build careers and raise children simultaniuously, while nations that have implemented childcare systems to relieve working parents tend to see people more readily have children they know will be taken care of.

China’s population age looks kind of like a lighthouse. Can’t overlook this detail, they are watching us

An interesting side effect of the one child policy is that the general cultural preference is now to have only one child, leading to people choosing to have only one regardless of how many they're allowed. For various reasons, countries that are more traditionally religious tend to have higher birth rates, and China isn't particularly fond of traditional religion, which doesn't help the population issues of the one-child policy. As for the extreme decline of Japan's population, there's a huge cultural emphasis on working extremely long hours every week. This leads to people having very little time to form relationships (which may also contribute to Japan's high suicide rate) and raise children.

Due to the extreme disparity in gender populations, it's expected, if not required for men to own multiple properties before a family will approve of them marrying their daughter. Housing prices continue to rise, making that a harder and harder thing to do as time goes on, meaning that there are millions of young men who just can't find a partner no matter what. 30 Million angry young men is a huge problem for any government, and can lead to rioting, mass immigration, and revolt due to the extreme number of them who are unsatisfied with their life, and feel they have nothing to live for.

If having a growing population is necessary to be a successful country this planet is is big trouble(planet in this usage meaning all other living creatures that are not humans or associated with humans not the mineral sphere in space). It's possible that a ever growing population like the ones that economists advocate will permanently damage the systems on which life depends. I think that humans should choose to have a steady state of population so that we can avoid what normally happens when an animal's population booms. It hits a limit and the population decreases in very unpleasant ways i.e. starvation, ecosystem collapse, etc.

Globalist drivel. Population control is not needed to maintain Earth's ecosystems so long as practical caretaking is enacted. As long as a significant enough percentage of a nation or civilization's economy is devoted to the advancement of research and knowledge technological progress will continually develop new, humane solutions to any perceived "overpopulation" problems. An orbital arcology for example would go a long way to housing large numbers of the Earth's population and is entirely viable once orbital travel is safe enough to allow for daily commercial commutes between the orbital ring and the surface. Colonization of other planets and construction of void habitats are a bit more distant an option, possibly, but infinitely more effective at allowing for ever growing populations.

The tragedy of the commons means that everyone is instantized to grab and pollute what they can. The oceans are being fished out. The composition of the air is changing to have more CH4 and CO2. Animals are going extinct. We can't bring back the Chinese river dolphin or Spix's Macaw or all the other types of animal that are vanishing.

I like how you present things as they are. One of the very few balanced view out there, who is aware of the sentiment and subtleties of different countries.

The reason that they updated the system is because there was a wide range of problems with the 1 child policy from gender imbalances (more boys than girls) and civil unrest over time, boys were favored for a number of reason from being good for work, keeping the family name, and taking care of the elderly. The one child policy would cause civil unrest in a number of ways from prostitution, forced marriages and kidnapping. A lot of the time when families in China did have a girl the family would send them into foster care and or to be taken to a family overseas(lost girls). Though I do think that there were benefits such as the population control and low food consumption rates and more job opportunities for many people, I do not think they counteract the the consequences. Having a 2 child policy would be more reasonable.

From what I can tell over the course of 150 to 200 years, each country will go through a period of overpopulation and under population.

@Fitz the dragon Maybe poverty and hunger will be eradicated in a century, maybe they won't. But people are suffering now. You can't bank on invention. It's irresponsible to let overpopulated countries continue down their path to self-destruction in the belief that some future invention might save them from themselves. By teaching them how to control their fertility and giving them the cheap, available, proven technology to do so, these countries will have reproductive independence, instead of having to wait for miracle future technologies from the developed world they may not afford anyway. It doesn't matter how much people respect religious and cultural borders, when the population starts to fall over the poverty line they inevitably start to squabble over the remaining resources and finances. Lebanon used to be the "Switzerland of the Middle East." Overpopulation was the ultimate cause of the civil wars inn Lebanon, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. There would have been no civil wars in those countries if their populations didn't grow so much in just the last half century. It's like having a credit card. It's not good to keep it close to your credit limit all the time. Not only are you paying a huge amount of your income as interest every month, but it only takes a little more purchasing than you planned for to put yourself over the limit, risk a due payment you can't possibly cover, and get yourself placed in collections.

That's a risk nobody should be forced to take if it's not necessary. And it was a lack of freedom that got them in such a sorry plight in the first place. Lack of freedom to use birth control and plan their family size, because they come from cultures and religions so conservative and backward, they risk social backlash or execution for doing such modern things. Women not being allowed to finish school or get a job outside the home, having eight or twelve children while the husband works twelve hours a day trying to make enough money to feed everyone, suffering health problems from overwork, stress and too many births and getting old and dying before their time.

19:00 - In Utah we have a lot of children because we love kids, and, what are apparently considered large families. Most people I grew up around were in families of three to five kids, with six not being uncommon. Our religious beliefs are very family focused, and stress that the greatest joy comes from having healthy family relationships. Our focus is not like the quiverfull movement - just having kids for the sake of it - But we have children because we honestly want to have more. I plan on having at least four, probably five. In my eyes, I can't fathom how people that are perfectly able to have children don't want them.

I think once thing that may be kinda disregarded in these charts in terms of replacing workers from the previous generations... is that a lot of jobs are already being replaced by technology, so actually having such high population which prior, that population would have been all those workers... becomes less and less necessary.

I think Tokelau is classed under New Zealand census data, as they are a dependency agreement with them but I'm not completely sure.

The 3 child policy is just dumb, you “allow” doesn’t mean they will do it, at least in the 1800s and early 1900s the USA actually give free education and free food for children when they are born to increase population, migration back then was super easy as well, you just need to go to America and register as a US citizen.
