I have heard people say that the worlds population is to great and we should not have as many babies anymore. Personally I do not agree, BUT please only answer my question. I do not wish to get into a debate about whether or not we have to many people in the world^_^. My question is, if hypothetically people WHERE to have less children, then how would we be able to support them when they got to old to make a living? We are already starting to struggle to support retired citizens as the baby boomers enter old age. So, if this generation enters old age, and there are even LESS young people, then how can they support those that cannot support themselves. Already China is struggling with this issue. While I do agree they have too many people, they are facing difficulties. millions of people are entering old age, but since the pop. has decreased, those who can work are struggling to support themselves, much less the older generation.
