It seems to me a culture is either growing or slowly dying. And population levels are a leading indicator of the direction. In Japan, it's likely their culture will continue to survive given their relative geographic isolation and homeostatic culture. However, Italy is so relatively close geographically to cultures in Europe which are dramatically different than their own, so I doubt the same will be true over time. The question really is how deeply one values the culture of the country involved. There has been a lot written on the negative impact on world population increases. There has also been a lot written on the problems nations face with declining birthrates as their population ages. I'm not sure either of these scenarios is likely to play out to the extreme level many predict. Seems to me population levels are similar to inflation. You need some level of increase, but the closer to zero you are the better. I don't want the culture of the Eskimo's to disappear, nor do I want the Italian culture to die as well. Finally, I doubt living well and population levels of Europe have much to do with one another on their own. That's a matter of Economics.
