Population:
“I find that as industrialization increases, the population decreases. With industrialization, the life expectancy increases. When that happens, families don’t have to be large. In the last five years the absolute number of babies has been less each year. The big bulge everyone’s worried about occurred because all the people that used to die have not been dying, particularly at birth. This bulge is working up to a time when there will be a great, great many people who are very old. But the number coming in at the bottom is lessening very rapidly.”
