Though it is thought that there will be an overall decrease in population growth, as social attitudes in rapidly developing countries changes.

Other, evolutionary or environmental factors might also add to a long term decline in species fertility.

The world population has actually increased to over 8 billion. But several western countries and Asian countries are seeing an aging population.

Yes, I'm aware of current trends.

I was loosely quoting longer term predictions.

But it still stands that the more people we keep alive for longer coupled with changing attitudes towards procreation, will inevitably create a proportionately older demographic.

Besides abortion, wars also reduce the population of countries.

Well, death in general will reduce population...This is a truism.

As birth will increase population

Though in terms of the human species, wars and abortion currently do not impact upon population growth.

Which would suggest that currently in terms of species success,  procreation and all factors that affect longevity are demographically more significant than abortion and war.

The two most populated countries China and India have not been in any major war for decades and resulted in the 2 highest populations in the world.

It's estimated that up to 80 million people died as a result of WW2.

It is also estimated that up to 80 million people died as a result of Moa Zedong.

And the Indian sub-continent has certainly had it's fair share of conflicts, notably  WW2 and the partition era.


Though I think that it's fair to say, that although always notable, wars since WW2 involving Western nations, have not been as catastrophic in terms of population depletion.


I would therefore suggest that the distinction in population growth between Indo-China and the West, has more to do with social ideology and very little to do with conflict.

You forget China and India were leading the world population growth after WW2. When Europe and America were declining.

What's the point of working out of working out your left arm when your right handed.

A better man than I. Haven't done a pull up in 30 years. I do however work in the marble and granite industry and  lift over 100 pounds every day multiple times a day.  My work keeps me fit, I have weighed between 160 and 170 pounds for 40 years. I hit 175 a couple of times.  I quit eating lunch for a week when that happens and the 5 pounds disappears.

It all comes to dieting to stay healthy.
