Die Geburtenrate aller Länder der Welt im Jahr 2025

*About 71% of the world’s population now lives in countries with birth rates below the replacement level needed to maintain population size.*

Wha…? I keep being told by Reddit that European birth rate is looking lower than South Korea??? 71% of the world’s population is European? >!/s!<

Even outside of education of women, etc, we’ve added way too many rules to parenting for anyone to want to take it up.

I mean my great-grandmother who had 8 kids became much more involved in their lives when they were teens. My grandparents were raised by a whole mix of people. My grandmother and her sisters-in-law on the other hand were expected to do everything by themselves.

My great-grandmother didn’t help raise my mom, her siblings, or her cousins. Their moms did everything. It was exhausting and despite being younger they were sicker than my great-grandmother and some of my mom’s aunts-in-law had back problems from doing housework so quickly after giving birth.

The “>5” on the colour legend is incorrect. It should just say “5”. 

This data is not beautiful.

As the graph shows, There is no single driver to this demographic collapse, but a convergence of multiple factors, as this is happening in rich and poor countries alike. It is happening in countries with massive social-welfare safety nets and subsidies and in countries with none of those. It is happening in secular countries and in highly religious countries alike. It is happening in countries with harsh working conditions and in countries that provide generous vacations and strict laws against overtime work.

Does not seem to be a cost of living issue either, as e[ven families making north of $700K/year are having fewer children.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F5wy659956rsc1.png)

Scandinavian countries, countries like Singapore, Japan and South Korea have invested massive amounts of money trying to revert birthrates declines with not much to show for it. Singapore for example virtually guarantees affordable housing for all of its citizens, plus free schooling, affordable medical care, etc… and still has one of the lowest birthrates in the planet. No country has yet figured out how to reverse the trend, but many are trying.

This is not an issue with capitalism either. Non-market economies like Cuba and North Korea are facing the same crisis.

Also, the issue here is no wanting more people on Earth to sustain „infinite growth“. It is not that we need to be 10 billion, 20 billion people in order to prosper. We don’t. Maybe we would be fine if we reverted back to say…3 billion people globally. The problem we are facing is the pace of the decline. When birthrates fall off a cliff, as we are seeing now, you end up with a massively large old population that needs to be supported by an ever declining young population. We don’t know how to run a society with more retirees than working people, or with more sickly people than healthy ones. In the entire history of humanity, this scenario has never happened.

My god that has to be the most difficult to read chart ever. It’s like someone tried to make the a graphic designed to give a person an headache.

The Capitalist pigdogs will try to tell you that this is a tragedy or an emergency, do not be deceived, this is rebellion and our best chance at breaking free of their chains

When workers are many and employers few, then the workers must compete over the employers, which allows the latter to pay ridiculously low wages and provide terrible benefits or working conditions: We become slaves

But when workers are few, then we are in charge, because employers must compete for us, and so, they MUST provide high wages with great conditions, because otherwise, we’ll just work for someone else. This is their worst nightmare

This is why it’s the dictators and tech billionaires BEGGING people to have more kids: They need more slaves, because otherwise, we won’t be slaves at all
