Negative Population Growth. “Human population growth in the past century was three times the total growth from the origin of the species until 1900. Coupled with sharply rising levels of resource consumption and economic activity in the more prosperous nations, that growth has imposed unprecedented strains on the ecological systems that support us and other living things. It has led in many parts of the world to rising unemployment, intensifying water shortages, increasing competition for resources, and the specter of hunger… NPG (negative population growth) is the ideal of a turnaround in U.S. and world population growth until we approach less destructive and more tolerable levels, perhaps at numbers that were passed two or more generations ago…. To those ends, we promote concepts such as “the two-child family”, lowered rates of migration to the United States, and the development of conceptual systems such as the steady state economy.”
