ScrubblesWon't someone please think of the boomers?!
SharkEatingBreakfastYoung folks have been priced out of housing & healthcare, you can be fired from your job on a whim, food is astronomically expensive, the political climate is tense, your basic human rights could be rescinded at any time, the future of the planet is being murdered by shitty capitalists with 0 regard for human life…
I mean, who wouldn’t want to bring a child into this world right now?
Eat shit.
ArbitraryValueThe parts of the world with the most population growth are generally also the poorest. Richer countries have fewer children, and within those countries richer people have fewer children.
I’m not saying that your concerns about your quality of life aren’t valid, but they don’t explain this phenomenon.
Kids are a retirement strategy in poorer countries, they are the opposite in richer ones.
In which country?
Retirement strategy?
China, India, Syria…
China? Country with oneof the lowest birth rates for a developed economy?
India? With barely replacement rate
Today, the average Indian woman is expected to have 2.0 children in her lifetime, a fertility rate that is higher than China’s (1.2) or the United States’ (1.6),
Syria that has been a global battle ground without functioning healthcare system?
I doubt any body deciding much about anything about family planning and they sure as fuck ain't worried about retirement.
Are you reposting some idea I heard in 2005 in 2024?
Why the fuck would China or India need to meet replacement rates? They’re the most overpopulated places on Earth. This is called progress.
