We would be fine demographically but for one Supreme Court decision and the willingness of millions of women to choose that "option."Not really. It's a contributing factor, sure, but American Millennials are a thing. Most of the rest of the world didn't have a miniature GenY/Millennial birth boom. It's their existence that makes American so much younger and stronger, demographically, than our global peers.
Now we just need to convince every adult under 40 to pair off and have 3 kids because...
...yeah, overall that's true.
We're in better shape than any other rich, developed country in the Western world. We're poised to have nothing but pity for the Chinese and the Russians in 20 years.
But none of this will last forever.
Demographic determinism may not be absolute but it'll sure bite you in the butt if you ignore it.
