We have over 7 billion people on this globe. Far too many, resource-wise and ecology-wise.

Problem is that we have billions too many people in underdeveloped countries, and millions too few in industrialised first world countries. So there are structural problems basing on regional differences. the industrial world is feeding the underdeveloped world. If the industrial world suffers due to demographic chnage and overaging, this decline by some million people has effects for all billions of global population.

That is why it is no contradiction to hope for more babies in the first world, and a very huge decline in babies in the third world.

In total, I estimate we are 5,5 - 6 billion too many, globally. If sustainability of resources and comparable minimums of material living conditions should lead the way, I think that globally this plan et cannot hold more than 1 - 1,5 billion people in the long run.

Big jackpot-question is how to get there without wars, pandemics, starvations and natural disasters.

We could start with rooting out those who for religious reasons campaign against condoms (and injections), like recently in Kenya as just the latest of so discouragingly many example of human stupids hating other humans and telling them ways to multiply human suffering and agony in this world.
