Talk:Birth dearth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Birth dearth means that industrialized nations are falling below a replacement level of reproduction. This says nothing about overpopulation on a global level, nor does it entail a drop in population within these countries so long as immigration is allowed. This is why the claim that birth dearth and overpopulation are incompatible is simply nonsense. If you want to claim otherwise, back it up with sufficient citations. Al 02:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Alienus,

That was my mistake. I thought you'd said that it was incompatible with over population...my mistake. Chooserr 02:55, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
