      So ? It doesn’t mean import millions of people. It’s a cycle all things come back eventually.

      I was going to make a joke about the Vatican, but I looked it up and in 2025 they had a fertility rate of 1.00.

      Part of the story is Korea beginning to wake up from its strange nightmare. I’d like to believe this involves strict managers going: „Leaving so early? You remember I said I needed that report by tomorrow morning? Wait this is for a *date*? Damn it. Fine, make it the morning after that. Go save the nation“

      The whole East Asia (not sure about NK though, nobody is) is having a seriously fertility rate problem.

      I think one problem is that as people get more educated, they realize that having kids when you can’t afford spending any time or money on them isn’t the best idea.

      Taiwan is a very educated country, but their work culture is sh#t.

      Heartfelt congratulations from South Korea for taking over the championship.

      Reminder, the answer is NOT to cut education in general or for women specifically.
      It is to fully support and fund childcare and ensuring parents do not have their career damaged by having children.
      Women want to have kids even when educated, but we are currently being asked to give up our careers and personal lives entirely. No the existing support in richer countries do NOT do enough.

      Its funny that if it is Korea comments are „it is sexism“, if it is Taiwan „it is education“ 🤣

      “Taiwan’s working hours ranked the sixth-longest globally in 2022” “The latest World Inequality Report shows a major wealth gap in Taiwan, with the richest 10% holding 60% of the wealth.” “in Taiwan, the minimum wage is less than 50% of the “living wage.”” And the constant threat of invasion… I’d be pulling out too

      The recipe are the same in all of the developed nations in the world.

      Both partners being forced to work to upkeep a reasonable standard of living (own a home, put food on the table etc) leads to this decline.

      Child rearing is cost prohibitive in time and lost opportunity of income.

      Why should I have kids and be further behind when I can work with my partner together, keep a dual full-time income/salary and have a cushier lifestyle with travel, retirement savings, fancier things and not lose on growth and opportunity due to maternity leave/pregnancy?

      The only real solution is to literally uplift families that do have children with immediate financial windfall to promote family units.

      Ie. 1:1 income replacement for women in late-term+ pregnancy through- ages 0-8 (or whenever a child would be eligible to go to primary school for full days).
      With possibly more offered to make larger families viable.

      Basically if the opportunity cost is not lost, then there’s actual financial incentive to have children.

      It’s expensive…. but I feel taxing the rich isn’t as difficult a process if there’s panic for future generations of worker drones.

      The effects of neoliberalism on the world.

      Who would have thought that a political and economic system would affect even a basic mechanism of evolution?

      Taiwanese women dont mess around in my experience, they are pretty fiercely independent and progressive. They’re not saddled with baggage from traditional religions mostly, and pretty highly educated. It pretty much all adds up that they’ve taken their reproductive rights into their own hands.
