Fertility rate: 'Jaw-dropping' global crash in children being born
Nearly every country will see their populations fall as the world has fewer babies.
www.bbc.com
Falling fertility rates mean nearly every country could have shrinking populations by the end of the century.
And 23 nations - including Spain and Japan - are expected to see their populations halve by 2100.
Countries will also age dramatically, with as many people turning 80 as there are being born.
Comment:
What will it be like when half of all the homes in subdivisions and towns and cities are empty?
How will worker shortages affect the quality of life?
It will be a strange time to be alive in 2100.
