When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the majority of justices decided that the right to an abortion should be left up to individual states. Two years later, thousands of Americans in parts of the U.S. with strict abortion bans are deciding to leave those states, new research finds. 

A recent study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) has been receiving a great deal of media coverage this month. It analyzed change-of-address data from the U.S. Postal Service. It purportedly found that people, particularly singles, are moving away from states with strong pro-life laws. Specifically, the study claims that 13 states that effectively banned abortion collectively lost a net 36,000 residents every quarter since Dobbs.

Birth rates in the world’s rich economies have more than halved since 1960 to hit a record low, according to a study that urged countries to prepare for a “lower fertility future”.

The average number of children per woman across the 38 most industrialised countries has fallen from 3.3 in 1960 to 1.5 in 2022, according to a study by the OECD published on Thursday.

The world population grew by 75 million people over the past year and on New Year’s Day it will stand at more than 8 billion people, according to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday.

The worldwide growth rate in the past year was just under 1%. At the start of 2024, 4.3 births and two deaths are expected worldwide every second, according to the Census Bureau figures.

Democrat-run states are still losing population, new Census Bureau data reveal, a development that could have electoral implications when the government reapportions congressional districts in 2030.

A part of me can’t be shocked concerning what these greenies say is causing the Earth’s temperature to allegedly rise. For decades, we’ve gone through the wringer regarding global temperatures and how they might end human civilization. In the 1970s, it was global cooling, with apocalyptic articles about how re-glaciation would overtake the North American continent, speckled with panic porn about how we needed to construct massive granaries to store food in preparation. 

Within two decades, China’s retirement-age population is projected to surpass the entire population of the United States. By 2040, an estimated 402 million people, or 28 percent of China’s population, will be older than 60 years old—the current legal retirement age for most men in the country—more people than the expected 379 million in the United States that same year. This trend means the end of China’s comparative advantage in cheap and skilled labor and the rise of the daunting financial challenge of caring for its rapidly aging population.

The world’s demographics have already been transformed. Europe is shrinking. China is shrinking, with India, a much younger country, overtaking it this year as the world’s most populous nation.

But what we’ve seen so far is just the beginning.
