  1. This trend is happening all over the world .. cost of living is becoming impossible for young people

    It’s happening across most of the world as the global rich keep stealing most of the profit our labor creates

  3. ok lowkey.. isn’t this good? didn’t we have an overpopulation issue now it seems like everywhere in the world birthrates are dropping, unfortunately for the wrong reasons, but still.. they’re dropping🤷‍♂️

  4. In addition to all the developed countries problems… It doesn’t help having the threat of war loom over you.

    Ukraine’s birthrate has expectedly dropped.

    For those who already exist, it is a disaster because the expected population to pay taxes disappears, but from a utilitarian point of view, it is ultimately better because the total amount of suffering is reduced.

  6. If only countries could find ways to make it affordable to have kids?

    I say this as a parent, kids are expensive.

  7. Most countries have made its so expensive to have kids. Not only that but you get no support and are still expected to work 40plus hours a week.

  8. Taiwan also has long working hour. I hope both long working hour and cost of living can be addressed in Taiwan.
