La population mondiale va chuter d'ici 2050, estime une équipe de chercheurs de l'Université de Washington dans une étude publiée par la revue The Lancet00550-6/fulltext). Elle estime que les taux de natalité mondiaux diminuent à tel point que dans 25 ans, les trois quarts des pays du monde n'auront pas assez d'enfants pour renouveler leur population. Pour le professeur Melinda Mills, de l'université d'Oxford, cela n'est peut-être pas une mauvaise chose : "Quand je prends du recul, en tant que démographe, je me demande si nous devons maintenir la taille de notre population. Il y a tellement de...

Italy’s ageing problem is starting to take a toll on the country’s world-famous ‘dolce vita’. The country’s growing number of pensioners isn’t nearly matched by the number of newborns, and efforts by Giorgia Meloni’s right-wing government to boost birth rates have so far failed to turn the tide on Italy's demographic decline. According to the latest data from Eurostat, Italy is the oldest country in the European Union, with an average median age of above 48. Together with Portugal, Italy has the highest percentage of residents older than 65 at 24%. That's roughly one in four. This increase ref...

A Korean construction company is paying its workers almost €70,000 every time they have a baby in the hopes it helps to tackle the country’s low birthrate problem. The company has already paid a total of €4.8 million in a lump sum to employees who have given birth to children since 2021, including two families with two kids who received €138,000 each at a New Year’s staff meeting earlier this month. "If the current state of low birthrates persists, we will face a national existential crisis such as workforce decline and a lack of defence manpower necessary for national security," said Joong-ke...

Le problème du vieillissement de la population italienne commence à peser sur la "dolce vita", célèbre dans le monde entier. Le nombre croissant de retraités est loin d'être compensé par le nombre de nouveaux-nés. Les efforts déployés par le gouvernement de droite de Giorgia Meloni pour stimuler les taux de natalité n'ont pas encore permis d'inverser la tendance au déclin démographique de l'Italie. Selon les dernières données d'Eurostat, l'Italie est le pays le plus âgé de l'Union européenne, la moitié de la population ayant actuellement un âge médian moyen supérieur à 48 ans. Avec le Portugal...

Geneva (AFP) - Rather than fixating on the impact of the world's soaring population, the world should look at women's reproductive rights to shore up "demographic resilience," the UN said Wednesday. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) -- the UN's sexual and reproductive health agency -- acknowledged there was widespread anxiety over the size of the world's population, which is expected to peak at around 10.4 billion during the 2080s. But the UNFPA said the focus should be on giving women more power to control when and how they have children. "The question is: 'Can everyone exercise thei...

By The Conversation Feng Wang , University of California, Irvine Throughout much of recorded human history, China has boasted the largest population in the world – and until recently, by some margin. So news that the Chinese population is now in decline, and will sometime later this year be surpassed by that of India, is big news even if long predicted. As a scholar of Chinese demographics, I know that the figures released by Chinese government on Jan. 17, 2023, showing that for the first time in six decades, deaths in the previous year outnumbered births is no mere blip. While the previous ye...

By The Conversation Lorenzo Fioramonti, University of Surrey; Ida Kubiszewski, UCL; Paul Sutton, University of Denver, and Robert Costanza, UCL The world population has just hit a new record: 8 billion. As is often the case, there are heated debates about the planet's so-called "carrying capacity" – the total number of people who can live on Earth sustainably. Experts are generally divided into two camps. There are those who argue that we need to drastically reduce the human population to avoid ecological catastrophe. And then there are those who believe that technology will find smart solutio...
