近20年来,西方国家的人口增长速度在不断下降。在一些国家,人口数量停止了增长;在另一些国家,增长很少;而某些国家,个别年份的人口绝对数量甚至还有所减少。这种现象就其持续时间之长、深度和广度来说,是整个统计出生率期间前所未有的。西方开始了人口发展的新时代——人口数量相对稳定或人口“零增长”的时代。人口“规模”将如何,资产阶级学者又是如何评价这一现象可能带来的后果呢? In the past two decades, the population growth rate in western countries has been declining. In some countries, the population has stopped growing; in others, there has been very little growth; and in some countries, the absolute number of people in individual years has even decreased. This phenomenon, for its duration, depth and breadth, is unprecedented during the entire statistical birth rate. The West started a new era of population development - a time when the population was relatively stable or population “zero growth”. How will the bourgeois scholar evaluate the possible consequences of this phenomenon if the population “size ” will be?
