Baby Bust

[Unkotare]

Fertility rates are falling across the board, people are waiting later and later (if ever) to start families, and are having fewer (if any) children when they do. Meanwhile, the death-mongers continue their abortion fetish.

How will (near) future governments and citizens address the many consequences of a declining population? It can't be put off forever.

Capitalism will just have to lower their quarterly estimates.

Kids these days are too selfish to make good husbands, wives and parents. They want to play video games.

That is why we need LEGAL immigration to this country.

Well, if libs ever figure out which gender they are perhaps those numbers can change.

Many young couples have figured out kids cost $$. So they have decided to forego kids in hopes of garnering other things. Can't really blame them when wages are what they are and 2 people have to work to survive much less add another mouth to feed. The era of the big families is dwnidling replaced by less or no kids.

Even without a single immigrant this country would not be losing population. Only our rate of increase is declining.

Wages and spendable income are rising.

Correct. We cannot blame those of childbearing age for not wanting to have children because its too expensive. They didn't make it unaffordable. Wages are stagnant. People have to work multiple jobs to get by. Doesn't leave room for the expense of children...and the little fuckers ain't cheap

Fortunately, most humans are more human than you.

Could you clarify?

This after we solved all basic human need in a generation and ballooned ten times. Well is Unkotare in Japan? Too bad they didn't take over Asia for all the arm room.

Hard to blame them when we pay so much in taxes. EVERYTHING is taxed, and that's the problem. Aside from the 20% to 35% you pay in federal taxes, and whatever has to be paid for state taxes, you have taxes on nearly every single item you buy. Food, water, entertainment, property, clothes, transportation. Even after you have paid in your entire life to taxes, then they want to tax your retirement income as well.

Yes, wages could be better, but if we weren't taxed to oblivion, we'd all be doing a lot better.

 

[initforme]

Wages stuck and prices rising. And this is one of the smartest, most productive, hard working generations this nation has ever seen. Not their fault it's becoming more and more difficult starting out on their own. Many are being responsible by not having kids because they have decided they don't want them. That's in no way whatsoever a bad thing. It's being responsible.

Wages and spendable income are rising.

But still crap, and things like student loan debt and living expenses are rising.

Economics is a big part of this.
