Question to SVF: do you think that the declining population rates in Europe and Japan are too slow?

Hi Glenn,

hmmm...I am not so sure. I do know that I would like to see a negative growth in population sustained. A while back I saw a show that said something like if Japan`s rate continues there would be no Japanese within a hundred years.

It was just a sensational scare story to make people wax sadly about the loss of their culture.

Obviously with a cut in population, there will be some economic pain as demographics and tax bases adjust to support the economy and social financial structures.

If the population of Japan and Europe could be cut by two thirds within a period of 50 years, I would be quite satisfied.

How about you? What are your thoughts on it?
