Here's finally a video which explains the population's decline reasons accurately to my opinion, as to understand the causes of the problem requires looking at it differently.
It is happening at the same time all over the world so clearly what's going on must be rooted in deep societal and psychological factors. But what if it goes even beyond that and we actually have to look one level higher at the dynamics of populations?
This is what this video explains superbly and in doing so is, I believe, on the right tracks. This would explain why policies to increase the birth rates have no effect whatsoever, the cause being intrinsic to the population curve, there is no exogenous access. Our fate is truly in our stars for once, or more accurately in the dynamics of population statistics.
But what's makes the video outstanding is the conclusion: What if instead of interpreting this trend as gloom and doom, we start understanding it in a wider context, as a "normal" and natural adjustment?
The Birthrate Collapse is a Prisoner's Dilemma
