Zero Population Growth

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Zero population growth is the goal, advanced by neo-Malthusians, of a population in which births and immigration exactly balance deaths and emigration.

Show

A population where each year's arrivals, by birth or migration, offset that year's deaths and departures stays at zero growth.

Watch for

Zero population growth names a balance point; whether to pursue it as policy is contested, not settled by definition.
