Slow growth or minus growth in populations would be a bonus for the world, we are over populated.
Mindset over last two centuries with colonization, moving people to fill new world with their 'own' peoples, some had large families knowing many would perish. no longer the case. In many ways this way of thinking backfired in hurting original people on the lands.
After wars the regrowth was what countries promoted. But we need to take a step back in history. More knowledgeable today than it was a hundred years ago.
Mindset growth should be directed toward being the best you can be not having to procreate large families.
Yes we have come far, yet we go backward, no longer building to last, rather built die-by-date forcing new manufacture, never ending cycle of economics, that is on a track ruining much.
