    Besides housing being laughably unaffordable, there is also the fact that foreign media shill the idea of “psiecko” (dog instead of a child), it has gotten so that playgrounds are being replaced with special fields for dogs.

    Well not many would like kiddos when you have to pick between taking credit for 30 years or living with parents until you’re 40 years old.

  3. This is actually a good thing in the age of AI and Automation. Better to be Norway than Bangladesh plus there are already 8 billion and growing humans in the world.

  4. The culture needs to change. Young people became too comfortable and many men are don’t want to take responsibility of having a family to play video games and have „psiecko” instead of their successors.

    Ok, a mandatory monthly article about the feritility crisis was posted. Now we can forgot about it till next month.

    Poland should make further bans on abortion and make giving birth even more difficult and dangerous. That should help us get below 1.0 in more places.

  7. I wonder if this creates like a deadly loop. I’m thinking of having children but I know the low fertility rate will affect their lives, so I decide not to bring any children into this world contributing to the crisis.

  8. Hi there. I am not from Poland but wondering what impact it will have on the economic and cultural trends and prospects in mid term? We do have sharp decline in the number of kids in my country, particularly in the past 2 years. Although, likely to stay around 1.3 after falling from 1.55. I have a feeling that this leads to less culturally vibrant local communities, less people to create, renew, consume cultural goods.

    It’s not only the low birth and fertility rate; singlehood is a new phenomenon.

    Soppy has a low fertility rate? Who would have known? I guess Ibiza and Val D’Isere as well?

    Besides housing i’m not having a child in country with abortion ban, I’ll have it in different country or won’t have it at all.

  12. can Polish people explain me in simple terms? afaik,

    1. Govt provides 800 pln/month to each kid + Other benefits to kids.
    2. Kindergarten + Schooling + food (all can be covered easily in 800 pln / moth)=> Free, Cost of raising a child till 18 = 0.
    3. Couples with kids get more tax benefits.
    4. Cost of child birth in hospitals = 0 (maybe 100-200 pln for some extra meds)

    what exactly is stopping Polish couples from having kids?

    PS – It is really sad to see number of enrollments getting down each year in Kindergartens and if this trend keep going on, Kindergartens will be closed (Already happened in several places where number of enrollments went below some threshold level)

    dont forget divorce rates. having a child means i will most likely end up as a pay slave

  14. Nobody is stopping y’all, so worried for low childbirth rate, to pump out at least a kid a year. You’re all just performative and lazy. If it was such a problem for you, you’d get up and do something about it. Not a problem for me though, I’m fine.

  15. It’s crazy that people don’t want to have kids when their lives don’t feel stable or safe
