Empty Planet
The Shock of Global Population Decline
Book • 1988
In 'Empty Planet', Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson present a compelling case that the world is on the cusp of a significant population decline.
This shift, driven by urbanization, women's empowerment, and declining religiosity, will have profound impacts on economies and societies worldwide.
The authors argue that this decline is not a result of catastrophe but a deliberate choice by people to have fewer children.
