Bie dacterically, the world is no longer having children, experts speak
The decline in fertility around the world should be a cause for celebration, not alarm, said one expert who has stressed that the focus on population growth is outdated and bad for women, writes The Guardian, followed in Albanian Periscope.
Recent statistics reveal that, globally, women have about 2.4 children in their lifetime. But in countries that number is much larger in Niger even more than seven in almost half the countries, including the United Kingdom, Russia and Japan, has fallen two.
This decline has been followed by reactions that threatened that we could be dealing with a disaster of depopulation.
But, Sarah Harper, former director of the Royal Institute, who works at Oxford University, said that this should be seen as a good thing, and that countries have no reason to worry if their population doesn't grow up. /Periscopi
