If the fertility rate falls below 2.1, the population replacement rate, then the population will start declining. In recent years, the global birth rates and fertility rates have dropped dramatically. Fewer people are having babies, and parents are having fewer babies. The global fertility rate has dropped drastically and caused concern in many countries. Several countries are already facing aging and even declining populations. Twenty-three nations, including Japan and Spain, could see their populations halved by 2100. Japan already has one of the oldest populations worldwide, with about one-third of its citizens over 655 years old. Aging populations negatively impact countries in several ways. A rapidly aging population means fewer working-age people, decreasing overall economic productivity and GDP growth. For example, Japan’s workforce is projected to shrink by 8 million by 2030. Furthermore, with fewer people working, funding for safety-net programs such as U.S. Social Security could become underfunded. This causes working-age people to pay more to support the elderly, and public budgets would face the burden of the higher total cost of health and retirement programs.
