    Bloomberg OpinionVerified account @bopinion
    Last year, American women gave birth to the fewest number of children since 1986. That amounts to a fertility rate of 1.7 children per woman -- well below the rate of 2.1 necessary to maintain a stable population. https://bloom.bg/2HE1ZWA

        I don't see a problem. We can have a growing economy without a growing population. More robots, more automation, more productivity.

        That was my thought as well. Last week the screed was that AI and automation were coming to take all our jobs. Less people = less unemployed

        The comments mostly just complain about how hard it is to raise kids...by commenters who don’t have kids

        Practically, declining birthrates don't really matter because automation/AI are going to step into a lot of currently productive human endeavors. The important question is whether it indicates a lack of confidence in the value of being, and what that says about modernity.

        The commenters on your thread apparently see no problem and like the idea of being cared for by robots and algorithms As if the only social benefit of children and grandchildren is economic
