Re: " 'demographic stultification.' is a problem faced by a lot of countries."

Yep.

"Most if not all of Europe,"

Yep.

"the USA,"

Nope! (We are fine. Combination of national birth rates and immigration makes us perhaps the only large developed nation with healthy population growth rates --- out to the observable horizon.)

"China will confront this problem due to the one child policy,"

Yep. May start to get bad for them (labor availability wise) by 2030, say....

"most Muslim countries are undergoing a decrease in fertility,"

Yep. (A good thing too because many there need a slower growth rate or there will be little room for economic growth and wealth accumulation or the emergence of 'Western-style' Middle Class.)

"as is India,"

(Very mixed picture there I believe....)

"it seems to being occurring inversely to education."

Yep. A little education and people want to live fuller, richer lives. Women imagine lives beyond merely being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and dying mid-thirties after 8, 10, 12, kids.... Imagine that. :-)

"So the smarter we get the closer to extinction we become."

No way, no how. <GGG>
