Feels surreal how the Japan became the standard rather than the outliner theses days, México used to be the "highest birth rate" country in america. https://x.com/BirthGauge/status/2102405366147608687

cost of living crisis has the same effect everywhere
capitalism
But Mexico has better rate of naturalisation. I think Japan’s remains unique to the whole world and will suffer the hardest
It’s not a problem. Until the percentage of elderly having to be supported by the younger, working generations becomes an issue. And they start living much longer. There are over a 100,000 people over 100 years old in Japan now. Let’s just say most of them are not independent, by any means. Oh, and Japan started this whole below replacement level thing much earlier, in the early 1970s, so they had more than 50 years to deal with it, but failed to do so. What Mexico and others should do is to NOT do what Japan did to combat the problem, i.e., nothing.
The writing is on the wall. Birth rate is below replacement levels in all developed countries (except for Israel) and decreasing in the developing countries, save for a few exceptions.
Immigration is a temporary band aid, at some point we’re gonna have to come up with a socioeconomic system that doesn’t rely on a larger young working population supporting a smaller older population.
They are also both known for tacos.
