      Some say this growth is caused by people working and not having kids, and will come down in 10 years or so, stagnating like Italy

      Less pressure on housing stock, resources shared amongst less people which means everyone gets a larger share of the pie. 

      And what’s the point of bringing new children in this world if companies are pushing AI to reduce their costs and replace people without having a decent universal basic income in place? 

      Some governments started paying the parents to make children. But did anyone think about actual opportunities for the children? That child will have a life of its own. Before creating new life, it’s important to make sure the odds are good for them otherwise it’s irresponsible to create new life.

      I think is epigenetic event and the genes activated make people less interested in having family in general. Overpopulation kill switch installed by mother nature. I remember year 2000 when a pair lived in m1 flat with 3 kids now this is unthinkable.

      Lemme tell you something – prices are terrible but also no ruling party within last 20 years had any ideas that could realistically encourage people to have more kids. Giving people 500 or 800pln per child per month isn’t gona convince many people that they can suddenly afford giving their kids a decent life.

      Thanos was right, too many ppl walk this earth. Declaining population is not a problem, but a solution.

      Polish women are very independent, which is generally positive, but it can have consequences. When I speak with people my age or younger, many prefer to live alone and avoid responsibilities. Additionally, the cost of living has become quite high these days. We’ve also become more narcissistic overall.

      When you have kids you have to change your lifestyle and it’s hard to provide for them new generation are selfish
