[p2p-research] from a us intelligence briefing

[Michel Bauwens]

as far as I remember, some countries like Spain and Italy are much lower,
and in countries with immigrant population, the figures hide the very low
rates of the native population.

I guess the replacement level is not an absolute, as the carrying capacity
of the earth could do with a lesser supply, but with rates around 1.1. we
are talking about halving the population each generation right?

from the mathematically challenged,

Michel
