Comment your questions for Dr Morland below.
Given that continuing growth in a finite system is impossible, are we approaching a point at which we should be looking to achieve homeostasis and therefore should be working out how to make that work rather than demanding more babies?
Without reliable figures for immigration is it possible to gauge the population stats via toilet paper sales or childrens shoe sales or such? obviously needing to know which demographic actually uses whatever you base it on? Will the world eventually be standing room only?
