Personally, I believe that it depends on the place or country, the figures are manipulated to suit their convenience. If you ask me, a real example was what happened in the pandemic. All countries and governments published figures and higher figures than they systematically did. It was to cause terror at all levels of society.. and here we must also take into account that while in Europe people do not want children.. however they have 3 dogs 🤦.. on the side here in South America the percentage of mothers teenagers and single girls is galloping upwards... and those same girls end up having 2 or 3 more children... that's where the count can go... and the difference in culture of thought between continents is clear... and I doubt that at some point there will begin to be fewer people in the world... if an atomic bomb is dropped between these countries at war, without a doubt that would reduce it...
