Carrots<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In contemporary, post world war II times, the process of depopulation is the declining number of births pitted against significantly longer life spans of the existing population.&nbsp; Given this, depopulation starts from the declining quantity of young and slowly works its way up the population.&nbsp; So, as depopulation is taking place, it is tracked by declining births,&nbsp;and eventually by declining 0 to 64yr\/old populations vs. still expanding 65+yr\/old populations.&nbsp; Outright depopulation only takes over once the declines among the under 65yr\/olds outweigh the ongoing growth among the 65+yr\/olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2011, there was one state plus Puerto Rico that experienced outright depopulation.&nbsp; However, by 2018, that number has increased to 9 states&nbsp;(Alaska, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, West &nbsp;Virginia, Wyoming),plus Puerto Rico that are outright shrinking (chart below).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-3.png 482w, https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-3-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, an additional 16 states&nbsp;(Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama)&nbsp;are now experiencing the precursor to outright depopulation; declining 0 to 64yr\/old populations versus ongoing growth among the 65+yr\/old population.&nbsp; Simply put, half the states plus Puerto Rico are experiencing either outright or the early onset version of depopulation (under 65yr\/old depopulation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Puerto Rico, the flood to the exits appears to be on.&nbsp; The chart below shows the annual net population declines that began in 2005 &amp;&nbsp;hit warp speed in&nbsp;2018.&nbsp; Since 2005, the Puerto Rican population has fallen about 16%!!!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"482\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-4.png 482w, https:\/\/olduvai.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/image-4-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 482px) 100vw, 482px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But the chart below shows the\u00a0change\u00a0in population among different segments of the Puerto Rican population.\u00a0 While the 65+yr\/old population continues to stay put and grow (+3%), the ramping exodus and collapse among all segments of\u00a0the under 65yr\/old population is of epic proportion.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Depopulation and Monetization&#8230;Like Peas &amp;
