For John, BLUF: You are home free, but your grandchildren could see the adverse consequences of sex selection abortions and overall falling birth rates. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Demographics is Destiny. Blogger Renee Astee tells us population growth will peak in 15 years and then it is down hill.
The line "Demography is Destiny" is from French Mathematician Auguste Comte (1798-1857).
