    1. People don’t make kids because they want to achieve good economic status and enjoy the modern world which you can’t really achieve with kids. Plus divorce is very easy, so family has become an unstable place.

      Modern liberal world is just anti-family in a way.

      Dear lord. This is genuinely apocalyptic – civilization-ending basically.

      If this trend continues, I’d not be surprised to see countries start collapsing due to aging populations. South Korea and Japan was jus the start it seems.

    3. But I was told we could bring in labor from less developed countries if we faced a fertility crisis, yet now, those less developed countries are having fewer children too.

      Haiti is 1.61? Last I heard that was the only country in the Americas with an above replacement rate.

      So this is what keeps coming up when I search up “Iberia TFR” I was like “hold on this isn’t a hoi4 mod”

    7. I don’t get this whole idea that we’re headed for a global collapse. I live in Argentina, and this is the best thing that could have happened to this country, fewer births means fewer poor people, fewer kids sleeping in the street, greater availability of infrastructure, and less crowded cities, it’s a plus,

      The only downside is the collapse of the pension system, but come to think of it, it would collapse anyway without a reform, half the country doesn’t pay taxes.

      plus clankers will destroy all jobs, no need for more kids.

    8. Everytime I see a TFR post I remember the poll they did during my high school years.
      They asked both the boys and girls if they wanted to have kids later in life.
      TFR if boys got the family they desired was 2.8.
      TFR if girls got the family they desired was 0.3.

      Almost none of the girls in class answered that they wanted to have kids with the occasional 1 or very rarely 2.

      Things are cooked. I am sorry to say this but I don’t see how this can be reversed without taking away a significant portion of womens rights which ofc shouldn’t be the goal…

      Also if you think “Well that was just a poll when you guys were in your youth.”
      Yes, but of all my former female classmates only 2 have kids so far, one each. We are turning 30 this year.
      Of the boys nobody managed to have any kids, which makes sense because their partners don’t want any as is evident.

    9. What many people believe: “When people get rich, they want fewer children.”

      What really happens: Capitalism is choking the life out of humankind.

    10. The region is fucked. It did not take the chance to become developed so they won’t have the infrastructure or systems ready to face this collapse like Western Europe and East Asia. It will be a nightmare

      Why you guys are so generous? If it shows Easy Asia (like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan) you guys just fking curse it and insult everything about them..

    12. When animals dont reproduce or eat, its because they are living in unnatural environments, guess what humans are ? We all live in a world we were not meant to be living in, we “advanced” as a society to create a worse world to ourselves….

    13. The whole map is below replacement. It’s going to be wild in the coming decades watching counties shift from blocking to incentivizing immigration.
