Abstract

More than 7.9 billion people currently inhabit Earth, and the population is growing. Halting this growth, although possible, would lead to Global economic and social collapse. Furthermore, the modern economy has a constantly growing demand for resources. Finally, demographic growth is inextricably linked to overall progress. Continuous growth versus a limited living space on Earth leads to an unavoidable crisis.
