Below is my review of Dean Spears and Michael Geruso's "After the Spike: Population, Progress, and the Case for People @MikeGeruso
A population explosion isn't the issue confronting the world. Fewer people will not necessarily benefit the planet. We need to worry about an unchecked population decline. The world needs a stabilisation of the population. @SrinivasGoli1 writes @MikeGeruso theindiaforum.in/book-reviews/w…
In historical England, there were different rates of fertility and celibacy across social groups and "the lower, middle and upper classes operated by means of distinctly different demographic regimes." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
South Korea's Total Fertility Rate ticked upward to 0.75 in 2024, driven by increases in births to women in their 30s. Births to women in their 20s continued to decline. kostat.go.kr/synap/skin/doc…
Glad to moderate @CIICWL’s Gender Policy Symposium panel—‘Heat, Hunger & Health’—with @smritiirani, @doctorsoumya, Jyoti Parikh & @Harshalsalve. We launched a report on how rising heat impacts women’s health, labour & nutrition. Heat stress causes 80B+ lost labour hours…
'Dying Lineage' offers a valuable feminist perspective on the epics, showing their ability to absorb diverse beliefs and practices, disciplining them into Brahminism & facilitating the shift to a monarchical, stratified society. A review theindiaforum.in/book-reviews/o… @TheIndiaForum
After observing the first three days of IPC 2025, I reflected on how much India lags in data systems, particularly in emerging issues like family demographic dynamics. Four years ago, we highlighted some of these concerns in this paper journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/21…
Crop diversification is a promising approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with agriculture. Our research in Chhattisgarh, India, shows that reducing the land used for rice production by 25% can lower methane emissions from 340 to 255 gigagrams by 2030.
Excellent.
No more backbenchers! Inspired by a Malayalam film, Kerala schools are adopting a U-shaped seating model to ensure every child gets equal attention. A simple shift with a powerful impact on inclusion, learning & confidence. Time for all state govts to implement this. @naralokesh…

Maybe this population debate is interesting to you!
We are now at a stage where it is not a population "explosion" that matters, but a steady decline in population. @SrinivasGoli1 reviews Dean Spears and Michael Geruso's case for population stabilisation. #population theindiaforum.in/book-reviews/w… @TheIndiaForum
Boosting birth rates requires true gender equality, esp in patriarchal Asian societies. Existing inequalities spark feminist resistance to pro-natalist policies, which are seen as exploiting women without fixing systemic problems. @SrinivasGoli1 writes theindiaforum.in/book-reviews/w…

Although we used the Theil index—a slightly different inequality measure than the Gini index—observe the difference in inequality levels between consumption and wealth. If you consider income, inequality levels should fall somewhere in between and more close to wealth than…
