I was an econmics professor, but I grew out of it. Demography, population study, is a branch of econmics. No long-run demographic projection has EVER been accurate. In 1900 Indians were The Vanishig Americans.

Real economists call demographics Panic Science. Demographers who get published take the population tend of the last generation, make a geometric progressin of it, and declare the world is doomed one way or another. They’re always wrong but nobody remembers it.

For example, everybody remembers the movie Soylent Green but nobody remembers that, in 1972, demographers had taken the arithmetic growth of the Boomer Generation, projected it into the future, and decided that WHITE people wuld be standing on each other’s heads in the 21st century, hence the desperate overpopulation in that movie.

That panic led to a lot of demographers becoming famous and helped cause the population bust of the 1970s. Now THAT population bust is being projected into the future by NEW famous demographers.

Demographers who START the panics are smart oportunists. People who never cease to BELIEVE them need psychiatric help.
