Overpopulation! Out of resources! Earth is overloaded! is what Hawking predicts by 2600, the Earth will become a constantly warming planet that radiates infrared energy. This is a warning we often hear. The Earth is in danger of collapsing due to the overpopulation of humans. But if humans can stop reproducing for 30 years, will the Earth be able to rest?
Although it’s just a hypothesis, but for some countries with population control needs, if people stop having children for 30 years for some inexplicable reason then resource consumption will decrease. travel a lot and the government won’t need to go through much trouble.
However, this phenomenon poses a serious challenge to human civilization. Even if humans don’t go extinct because of this, it’s clear that stopping having children for 30 years is not a cool thing for humanity.
The cessation of human reproduction is a serious challenge to human civilization.
Instinctively, humans are like other creatures on Earth and have the instinct to maintain their own species and increase the number of species, so it is natural that humans also have an instinctive need to have children. But the current human population is already overloaded compared to the need to use resources (food, soil, water, air …) so stopping reproduction seems like it will be good for the Earth and will not affect it. to the destiny of mankind.
If humans stopped reproducing in 30 years, at current mortality rates, the global population would drop from the current 7.4 billion people to about 5.6 billion in 30 years.
Perhaps this will be a good thing for the environment and the burden on natural resources will be significantly reduced.
However, the average age of the global population is currently around 29 years old (higher in developed countries and lower in less developed countries).
After 30 years of childbearing, the average age of the global population may be around 50 years old. The aging of the population will be extremely serious and it will seriously affect the economy and society.
At that time, perhaps the average retirement age for people was close to 80 years old, many people may die before they retire.
Obviously this will make a lot of people sweat, to make it easier to imagine, look at the current situation in Japan, many people in their 60s-70s are still working hard because of the high percentage of people in Japan. There are too many elderly people in this country while the birth rate is low.
And you can probably imagine the sad picture of humanity stopping to reproduce for 30 years.
When humans are infertile for 30 years, an entire generation will be skipped.
It is almost certain that many people will not be able to understand and accept this situation, which will likely cause great despair and affect social stability.
Like the dark scenario of sci-fi movies, humanity is about to be destroyed, the world is covered by a dark future and people with negative tendencies will give up all hope, disregard the law. law, indiscriminate destruction, proliferation of guns, drugs… The beautiful places we live in will become a dangerous and disturbing neighborhood.
When humans are infertile for 30 years, an entire generation will be skipped and most of the survivors will be unable to parent.
It is difficult to predict how this will affect the psyche of the rest. After this is over, when humans inexplicably recover their fertility, a large-scale “baby boom” will ensue.
At this time, the children born will be under great pressure as soon as they are born, because all the elderly relatives will take care and “blow hope” into them.
When people stop giving birth, the population will decrease and the labor force will also be greatly reduced.
When people stopped having children for 30 years, the social system likely collapsed completely. The population will decrease and the labor force will also be greatly reduced.
After 20 years, there will not be many young workers between the ages of 20 and 50 and social security may gradually disappear. No one is going to take care of the elderly because most people are getting older and the level of technology is also declining.
Global GDP largely depends on young people between the ages of 20 and 50. The disappearance of most people in this age group would be a major blow to the world economy.
Schools no longer exist because students are no longer there, infrastructure construction stalls because no one needs them, real estate collapses and places slowly become desolate, tax revenues dwindle with each passing day. years and the economy is facing the risk of collapse. Boundless despair covers the entire world!
Fortunately, this is just a theory!
