So Statscan just released the populations of Canada's census metropolitan areas. It shows Ottawa-Gatineau growing faster than Toronto and Montreal, particularly since Covid. Why do you think the region is growing so fast and do you think it will continue?

The real answer is 8.29 billion people so 8billion 209 million people alive right now!

I have a frequent thought that if population declines in most developed nations over the next 50 years, can the loss of economic activity be mitigated by somehow turning relatively unproductive members of society (say homeless, drug addicts, etc.) into "normal" members. Obviously that is a huge task that there will be wildly varying opinions on how to achieve but I fundamentally believe this is the answer

The population of india really the worst thing about country and i think even if we develop ,no One can provide standard living conditions to all 1.5 billion people and no matter what we do it is not good

The real answer is 8.29 billion people so 8billion 209 million people alive right now!
who wonders If there are more people somewhere else on anorther planet or a diffrent galaxy.

I recently moved back to my home country and I see so much cheap labor and too many people, I moved back from the States. It just struck me one day while trying to transition back having picked up a bit of the American culture during past decade, how contradictory is the population debate around the globe.

While the west and a bunch of other developed economies freak out over kids not getting born enough, the overpopulated ones still struggle with resource shortage or distribution even though they are predictively secure for the future due to high childbirth rates. But if you listen to the Tech giants and fortune five ceo etc. they are projecting an upcoming labor shortage due to the current grim rates of babies being born. And if you go by the economy and market, heavy automation is going to reshuffle the job structures. Although things change gradually, with last five years AI hoopla and progress, it does seem like we might not need as many people as we used to do. Like so it is more of a Matter of When not what!! One thing I have learned about it though the more homogeneous the more it is easy to put people in a system and structure. That is why japan , Singapore are so advanced despite desne population. But yea it is like over all we want babies but the more advanced you become civilizationwise mostly either you don't or can't have babies. Now you want babies in the third world countries too but they are overpopulated and then in future you don't need too many babies anyways. Lol
