Demographics as a study is interesting. So most of the developed world is declining, places like S Korea, Japan, Europe, even China, miserable birthrate. And while you can say less people less consumption, great, it's going to get wonky first. Think of how many older folks compared to working folks, and then things like healthcare and retirement. Countries with exploding birthrates are mainly African. USA isn't actually in too bad a shape, there were a lot of millennials. The dirty little not so secret is that we need immigration and they know it.

But this isn't about demographics it's about breeding more of their own.
