    It think they drew the wrong conclusions.

    It’s not the high income-countries that are spearheading this decrease. It’s the high cost of living-countries.

      It’s been observed for something like 70 years, across all sorts of other economic trends. I’ve heard before that the peak human population is expected to be about 11 billion and change, in a century or so, and then it will likely just hang there.
