Do you think the human population is declining now?

Over 50 years ago, people would like like 7-8 kids on average... Im South Asian and we were 4 siblings in total however most of my cousins, including my half sister had 7 kids, i even heard of one of my distant cousins and my sister in law's grandparents having 11 kids in total. They do this to increase their family members and said it is also for "protection".

Nowadays as a British born South Asian, we are sticking to maximum 2-3 kids

Also a lot of white people I know are sticking to 1 only or maximum 3

People in this generation especially in Europe and UK are having less kids don't you think?

However people in Asia and Africa with traditional mindset are probs still sticking to upto 10 kids 🤣

Yes

No

There are a lot of old people thats why the Earth is overpopulated however most of my British friends are sticking to 1-2 kids only lol

The problem is related to industrialization and urbanization. The more industrialized and urbanized a population the fewer children it has.

There are exceptional periods and cultural drives but in general higher population densities lead to lower birth rates.

No, there are people everywhere, developers are building on every square inch of land ans still everyone says there is a housing shortage. Traffic is horrible and I see the signs that we will run out of drinking water.

Overall population is increasing. But soon it will start to decline based on studies

[BarryLiverstone]

Per your update, that’s why I said studies indicate the population will pull back in the future
