Abstract

This opinion paper explores the urgent global issue of depopulation, emphasising its potential to reshape societies and economies. The paper argues that the majority of countries are already experiencing fertility rates below the replacement level, and the consequences of this trend will become severe in the coming decades. Through case studies of China and Japan, the paper demonstrates the economic and societal impacts of declining populations, such as shrinking workforces, consumers and aging populations. The paper posits that global depopulation is driven by the increasing prevalence of online pornography, which has altered human sexual behaviour and reduced procreation. While other explanations, such as financial concerns and societal anxiety, are often cited, the paper suggests that technology is providing an alternative to traditional mating, with significant repercussions for global economies. The paper concludes that depopulation should be taken seriously as a critical challenge for the future.
