I wonder how accurate the population projections of 2100 will end up being. 50 years back(roughly speaking) people thought that the population would keep increasing for a long time yet now we see that it's peaked or going to peak soon for many countries. Maybe just as how those predictions were wrong, so could our projections?
DO NOT PAY YOURSELF FIRST. THAT'S THE WORST BUDGET ADVICE I'VE EVER HEARD. IT UNDERMINES THE CURRENT FINANCIAL REALITY OF THE LOW AND MIDDLE CLASS. BILLS, FIRST, SAVE AFTER.
So Europe is dying off due to lack of children. Africa is exploding due to many children. That Mediterranean Sea is looking pretty small right now. And Europe is going to be looking a lot darker skinned in the future.
On a smaller scale I live in the capital of the province of BC in Canada, it’s called Victoria. We have the highest proportion of people over the age of 80 in the country. I can see the demand for health care and living assistance for this population. As we move more in this direction you have to wonder if everyone’s needs will really be met.
Should have covered Russia, Ukraine and other Ex Soviet countries.
If we solve aging and longevity, then number of children will be less important.
How could West Africa’s population reach 1.4B if the region becomes less and less habitable? If they experience climate collapse, there won’t be the human development required for population growth
The male to female disproportion is always so heartbreaking. Female infanticide is despicable.
What these graphs don't account for are wars, economic and political turmoil moving forward and migration. They just account for current trends, which one could hardly argue will continue unhindered. Take any predictions after the year 2050 with a huge grain of salt.
You forgot the Cambodian demographic pyramid. 30% of the Cambodian population died during the 1970s Genocide by Pol pot. Big drop in population for those 40 and older.
Russia's population pyramid is one of these you should look at. It has a lot of "waves" of people percentage in middle ages. It is echo of ww2, where a lot of young people, potential fathers were killed at the front in 1941, and not only after ~20 years, but even after ~40 years after war, number of born children was much less, than is other years
South America: Am I a joke?
Would be interesting to see Nigeria's population pyramid through the ages up until 2100
India, the US, and some developed nations in Europe would have been nice to see and compare with those shown in the video.
The one thing I think that would have improved this video would have been to show a sample of 5 different nations with 'typical' demographics pyramids at the start. Greenland and Antarctica would have been interesting additions, if purely because of their exceptionally low populations.
Birth rate is the biggest influence over social, political, and economical policies of a country.
You should have included Eastern Europe, India and USA. Other countries like Iran, South America and Bangladesh would have been interesting. ( because they have managed their birthrate in a short period of time).
There is a far, far worse problem to consider which is the accelerating pace of industrialization. The first wave of industrializing countries took over a century for the balance in their populations to shift from rural to urban. The latest wave is going from heavily agrarian to mostly urban in a generation and to being able to sustain population increases unlikely any in human history. They are able to do this thanks to the integrated global economic system. if that collapses due to war or due to a big country like China or Russia saying that they don't like the current rules and really being willing to enforce a change in the waters they can reach the entire system could collapse. If that happens, Africa will experience the mother of all famines.
i wonder what it would be like to be 80-84 in Niger
Do a video on the lancet study on the population projection of the world - their projections are even more stark and drastic with China being halved by 2050
