Ah yes capitalism where the female partner needs to work and have no time to be a mom. Then politicians worry about dwindling young labor when it's too late. Also banning porn and censoring sexuality... Shaming sex. Fertility is known to be higher when younger but there's no support to allow the young fertile people to thrive so they work until retirement fate, brilliant capitalism

China has a falling birth rate.
Russia has a falling birth rate.
China has a surplus of men.
Russia has a surplus of women.
Too bad they hate each other.
And both have deeply rooted racism problems that make Europe and the Americas look placid by comparison.
Very much so. You make this suggestion to a lot of Russians or a lot of Chinese and they'll start talking to you about blood purity.
Blood purity leads to blood paucity! Hybrid vigor ftw!
Also, for those who want to know, South Korea is the most expensive place to raise a child.
Apparently, according to what I just looked up, China is the second-highest.
Although I wonder if those are weighted against America's for-profit healthcare system?
Not sure, although routine medical care for children is one of the few areas that most health insurance plans do a decent job of covering, and/or there's public or charitable resources to help with it.
Good thing they hate each other
We don't need more of either for war fodder
I meant too bad for them, but what you're saying could (unfortunately) apply to a lot more countries than those two.
Yea true but those two stand out as top tier authoritarian states with warmongering aspirations
Give the U.S. a year.
"Why aren't the wage slaves breeding?? 🥺 We need more or our standard of living is really going to take a huge hit."
A falling birth rate is not bad for the planet. But it isn't falling globally.
One day you're saying there's too many kids in the next day you're saying there's not enough kids how about you just relax man
Oh like here . The number of newborn is collapsing .
