This only happens if the average lifespan is only one generation, i.e 30 years.
Not true. Over time, it will pan out. At now, what we see is a population (OF LOCALS) which has a high proportion/percentage of older people relative to the younger ones. This is why we are now classified as not an aging society but an AGED one.

The reason why we see many young people at places where young people go is that the old folks are either in nursing homes, aka old folks' homes, hospitals, or at home. And the young people are mostly foreigners. This is also why at almost all workplaces, foreigners outnumber locals. Where they look local, you'd ned to find out if they are actually Malaysians. There are 1.2 m of them working here which is about half the number of voters we had in GE 2025..and I am not even counting the half a million PRs, all of whom are young.

is true because the real world numbers won't happen the way you say it. To quote Wiki
"it may take several generations for a change in the total fertility rate to be reflected in birth rate, because the age distribution must reach equilibrium. For example, a population that has recently dropped below replacement-level fertility will continue to grow, because the recent high fertility produced large numbers of young couples, who would now be in their childbearing years"

So unless your population all die within 30 years (i.e. one generation), the population number will not go from 1,000,000 to 500,000 in just one generation like you claim.


Completely agree with you on the next part but it is irrelevant to my point about your incorrect statement about the effect of low TFR

And your "real world numbers" is quoted from "Wiki". Nice.

No effort to argue your case eh?

Let me show you some effort of mine...

Grandfather generation: 100,000 people (Simple round number for ease of illustration)
Father generation: 50,000 people
Son generation: 25,000

That's how each generation halves itself with a TFR of 1 where 2 adults make one baby.

Now, if you know how to work out a moving average, you will see how we have edged towards becoming an aged population as it is. So the argument about a 30 year lifespan is completely missing the point.

And while we become older and older with each generation, the foreigners who come here are mostly young. No matter how you add their ages up and work out an arithmetic mean, they are young.

Because that quote is sufficient to explain the problem with your original statement without need for any numbers.

Thanks for clarifying and correcting your assertion. Your example has a subtle but key difference from your original statement which is
They do, but not at a rate which replaces themselves, and that's why the TFR has fallen to below 1. To keep it simple, let's assume that the TFR is 1 which means that 1,000,000 people become 500,000 in one generation, and that become 250,000 in the generation after that.

It is likely you did not realize your original wording was incorrect and did not convey the same scenario as you have in mind where each generation produces a next generation that is half size. In your new example, 100000 people become ~150000 people after 1 generation, not 50000 as per your original statement.

You are a master of playing with words. Not going to waste my time with you. :)
