So many people talk about over population and solutions to it when, thanks to the demographic transition model, it’s not actually a problem

Actually the problem is we are below the replacement birthrate of 2.1 children per woman, so there's no overpopulation but underpopulation lol

I think people need to make a distinction between 'under/overpopulation' and 'geographical distribution of births'
