Overview

Why do fertility rates decline even when governments offer incentives? Why do social crises and systemic collapse keep recurring? The answer is simple yet overlooked: people cannot take life-changing risks if survival is uncertain. In Collapse Avoidance: The Real Foundation of Demographics, Ping Xu provides a bold, practical framework for addressing demographic decline and social instability. This book introduces the Emergency Survival Floor (ESF) concept-a guaranteed baseline of support that ensures households can live, plan, and thrive without fear of collapse. Through evidence-based analysis, case studies, and policy insights, Xu demonstrates how survival guarantees can: Restore public trust and rebuild social cohesion Prevent random social crises and demographic collapse Empower citizens to make life decisions, including having children Transform economic and social policy with efficiency and fairness For policymakers, scholars, and socially conscious readers, this book offers a clear, actionable blueprint for stabilizing societies, restoring human security, and enabling population growth in an uncertain world.
