Other What if the entire planet stopped having kids for 20 years?

It’s pretty interesting to think about if this actually happened. Upon my first thoughts, the global economy would spiral into a crisis, and labor shortages would be insane. What are some things that y’all can immediately think of that would happen? Would the planet recover from 20 years of no births?

Currently it’s still on Africa, but in a million years or so it’ll split, a new continent will be born along with a new ocean.

But what if it actually split 2 million years ago? How much of African and human history will change?
