What the Anti-Life Mentality Has Wrought
If the trend to longer lives and fewer children continues, total population will decline in developed countries, other than the United States, starting by about 2042, some economists predict.

These developments will have an unprecedented impact that ordinary citizens could hardly be expected to quantify or put into perspective.
