Developing world’s fertility declining rapidly

The UN Population Division’s latest World Fertility Report has just been released. It shows a steep decline in world fertility, especially in the developing world.
In 20 countries (among which China), births have now fallen beneath the number needed to maintain current population levels.
This demographic trend must be taken into account in any serious discussion about peak oil and global future oil demand.
The trend is likely to continue on its current pace, relieving the world of one of its most frightening pressures: overpopulation.
