I don't know what you are talking about here at all. I am not at all talking about consumption. I am talking about the trend of advance nations in Europe and some Asian countries of suffering from population growth that is way below replacement level and some countries like Japan and Germany that are currently experiencing population decline. And trends that don't speak well for developing nations like Much of Africa, South America and the Mideast that have rapidly dropping fertility rates.

I am talking very long term trends. If population growth PEAKS in a generation, what follows a PEAK? decline maybe?

Again, I am not talking a generation. I am talking 100 year trends.

But you know, always down to learn, if you got sources for this population debt stuff, always down to read.
