全球人口增长正在减速,可能比预期提前达到高峰,因为富裕国家面临人口下降。 Global population growth is decelerating, potentially peaking earlier than expected, as wealthy nations face declining populations. 这一转变是由晚年生育子女较少的妇女驱动的,由于工人减少和老年人所需支助增加,带来了经济挑战。 This shift, driven by women having fewer children later in life, presents economic challenges due to fewer workers and increased support needed for the elderly. 环保主义者希望这种下降能够减轻对环境的压力,但这完全取决于发达国家减少排放和改变消费模式。 Environmentalists hope the decline may ease pressure on the environment, but it solely depends on reducing emissions and shifting consumption patterns in developed countries.
