Looking into the detail, the majority of this drop has been from the Middle East, North Africa & Central Asia where rates have dropped from 7 in the 60's to 3 in 2015.
North America, Europe and Central Asia have stayed pretty constant over the same period (around 3)
The population in the UK, officially, has gone from 54m to 65m, so approx 20%. However, the Independent in 2007 suggested 77m - 80m is nearer the number based on several factors, including the amount of food we consume.
Given the amount of new towns and new builds since these records quoted from the 60's, I find it difficult to believe that the population is only up by 20%. That means there is ALOT of people wandering about, pretty much unaccounted for ..... I cant believe for 1 second that approx 30% of the UK is "transient" or on short term visa's ... |

The only drawback with halving the planet's population overnight is that we have to assume it would be by some filthy disease and thus taking affect among the poorer sections of society, you know, the one's who spent their lives grafting doing all the shitty jobs the hipsters and money grabbers wouldn't dream of touching.
Which leaves you with a bunch of effete beardies whose testicles have been zapped by mobile phones, chemicals, pesticides, processed foods and they themselves have no desire to do anything more than smoke dope and brew beer. Not a great recipe for keeping the human race going. |
By natural wasteage, I didn't mean a short term purge because that wouldn't remove the underlying problem of overbreeding. I meant through reduced birth rates, so there are fewer people being born than die.
That would probably have the opposite problem, the poorer sections of society globally also have the highest birth rates. You'd risk landing up with an idiocracy type scenario. As far as I can see, we're heading for it anyway. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I don't disagree.
What I do disagree with is his blaming of 'them' (foreigners, Muslims, doleys) for everything wrong with the country, and his inability to be wrong and gracious upon being proven so. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

Poppycock. Life expectancy hasn't fallen overall, it's in a small number of places. The average is still the same. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

So you are saying, because i don't have (and don't want) kids, i'm not supporting the economy because i am not spending my money in Mother Care......
What do you think i do with all this overflow of money i have then, stuff it under the mattress, or maybe, just maybe, spend it on other stuff, like motorbikes and holidays and nice clothes
And surely a falling birthrate is only a good thing, as the planet is never getting any larger, but the global population is

I wouldn't have kids even if I was paid handsomely to do so.
Every single working person I know IRL that has kids is financially handicapped one way or another and
constantly complains about being skint around the end of the pay month. Age of the children seems irrelevant,
it would appear that they cost a packet whether they are babies or teens, although it seems worse the older they get.
While I appreciate that there are some with no such concerns this does certainly seem to apply to the majority
of working parents. My best mate is living in a shitty low rise council flat in Marks Gate opposite a "lovely" family of
Albanian gangsters. If he and his wife never had the kid they had 4 years ago, they would be out of there by now.
What a dismal and depressing place to bring up any child. There was a fatal stabbing opposite his flat a couple of
months ago. Some poor 18YO lad copped it, black of course but there's a lot of blacks in and around Dagenham
nowadays so no big surprise there. Even Trevor Philips has come out this week and said that the wave of stabbings
and violence is a black thing. Bugger that! What future does a kid born today have? Especially in a shithole like
Marks Gate. I used to live 15 mins walk from the place myself. Thank god I found a wife from outside of London who
wants to do something in this world other than have babies. I reckon 90% of UK men that do "voluntarily" father
kids are nagged or tricked into it somehow. I'll pass, thanks. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
