In March, Joseph Chamie wrote an opinion piece on U.S. population growth for a publication. Along with being an opinion contributor for The Hill, Chamie is also a consulting demographer, a former director of the United Nations Population Division, and author of numerous publications on population issues, including his recent book, “Births, Deaths, Migrations, and Other Important Population Matters.” In his published article, Chamie swan dives into U.S. population growth by quoting the 1972 report by the U.S. Commission on Population Growth and the American Future: “In the long run, no substantial benefits will result from the further growth of America’s population. The gradual stabilization of the U.S. population through voluntary means would contribute significantly to America’s ability to solve its problems.”
