Depopulation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798191364117)

What happens when the world's population begins to shrink?

Depopulation explores one of the most important demographic transformations of the twenty-first century. Combining history, economics, sociology, technology, public policy, and scientific research, this book examines why birth rates are falling across much of the world and what these changes may mean for the future of civilization.

Topics include:

• The demographic transition
• Aging populations
• Declining fertility
• Urbanization
• Housing and economic pressures
• Technology and artificial intelligence
• Immigration
• Labor shortages
• Pension systems
• Geopolitics
• The future of humanity

Rather than offering simple answers, this book presents a balanced, evidence-based exploration of one of the defining global challenges of our time.
