The main problem of most developed societies is horribly low fertility rates. Lot of women pick very long education path and then career thinking about having children only in their mid 30s… When their fertility is mostly gone.
I think education system for women should be tailored towards different things than men. Teenage girls should have better knowledge of psychology (especially child psychology) health, childcare ect. so they are well prepared to build strong stable relationships and start families when they’re actually fertile. I’m not talking here about giving up on career of course, it’s a personal choice, but I wish the education was complementary for both genders (so couples benefit from different specializations of each other) rather than uniform.
Funny, before things got as bad as they are now, I used to think the main problem with society was overpopulation. It’s no longer the main problem, but it’s up there.
Both extremes are horrible.
We’re at 8 billion now.
If we’re being honest, the world would probably be better off a fair bit lower. How to get their through peace, equality, and justice is the tricky part.
For sure, so when we get to, say, 2 billion people (which was the global population just 100 years ago) we can worry about the risks of the lower extreme.
