      The rich have realized that they can’t keep getting exponentially richer unless population also grows.

      Interesting how the birthrate is declining in every country at the same time. It’s like there’s something in the air controlling our mind

      Not surprising. When your population is mostly rural and agrarian, kids are a net benefit as they are free labour for your farm. When you move into an urban and service/manufacturing economy, kids become a net drain on the family resources. People have no need for large families in cities.

      You can’t simply bribe a generation of people into having more babies. It doesn’t work, and other countries like South Korea have already tried it. It speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding of the cultural and sociological reasons for declining birthrates that they seem to think reversing the trend is as simple as repealing a law or offering people money.

      The birth rate drops to 0.9. Last year, the birth rate was above 1. Quite a huge drop….

      Reproduction is a basic human right, not a policy lever.
      You don’t get to treat people like
      “one child mode” yesterday,
      “three child mode” today.
      That’s not how it works.

      Why does China need more babies? India too? Earth’s population is entering the exponential stage of growth. Look at any chronological population chart.
      Add more people at the same time automation is growing and you’re making a world full of poverty and starvation. Only the rich, or religious, really want more people. That’s more people to fund their lavish lifestyle, or grow power in their church.

      China spent years hammering its coercive One Child policy into the fabric of society. Low birth rates should surprise no one.

      Is this the knock on effect of only permitting one child, so selective abortion resulted in a skewed number of boy children?

      Not surprising, when young people can’t even find a stable job. First, getting a job is hard, and second, once you hit 35, a company wants to get rid of you.

      They also have the problem of supporting two sets of parents, in total they have 6 people to support before they consider supporting a child.

      If they have rich parents, then maybe they consider 1 child. However, why bring a child into this world when the cost (private schooling) and competition are so high?

      If you go to war and the people who should be having kids starts to die, well your even more fucked

      Most of China still runs on the 996 schedule.

      9am to 9pm – 6 days a week. That’s just the bare minimum. Most employers further abuse that leading to depression and burnout. They don’t even have time for a hobby…
