Nowhere GirlDeclining birth rates are a standard feature of modernization across cultures and it's only a problem because cultures like the US get stuck in a rut of trying to preserve premodern cultural modes that are no longer useful, like the belief that society needs millions of tedious, low paid factory jobs to be successful or that women must be forced to have children to preserve population levels (and racial caste systems).
SecondUniverse (she/her/they)@gwynnion It infuriates me when people claim we need a continuously expanding population to sustain the elderly. Literally a demographic pyramid scheme.
@SecondUniverse Just bring people in from elsewhere! Improve the social supports. Make more communal living environments. Make it easier for younger relatives to take care of them (if that's what they want). There's a ton of solutions that don't involve eugenics and misogyny! But they are inherently socialist in the most basic sense of the word.
@gwynnion Agreed. Besides migration is inevitable. It's been going on since before Homo sapiens was a species. Unless people want barbed wire, machine guns and massacres at the borders, immigration is going to happen.
@SecondUniverse Unfortunately, some people do. Of course, those societies will eventually collapse anyway.
