Recent reports and data indicate a global trend of declining birth rates and populations, with the U.S. housing market facing a significant decrease in expected population growth. The U.S. Census Bureau projects a decline in total population by 2081, as deaths are expected to surpass native births by 2038. Experts warn of economic threats due to falling fertility rates worldwide, particularly in Asia and Europe.

"Decades of doomsayers predicted otherwise, but population decline, not overpopulation, could be a real disaster for the world." -@MichaelBarone https://t.co/HIzlX9sLJD
