Why not post actual links to official stats and real articles instead of yet another bitchute video?
Not everyone wants to watch their evidence.
Speaking as an older member, I remember this exact thing being predicted decades ago. We knew that the birth rate would slow down in the West as
access to contraception increased and as women were given more economic opportunities that made having large families inconvenient.
We also know that the decline in the male wage has an effect on family size. A man in a western country can't afford to support a stay at home wife
with 3-4 kids, so he has fewer kids and the stay at home wife can't stay at home any more because they need two incomes in order to support a middle
class lifestyle (Or, in many cases, to make it off of the breadline).
We also know that increasing the levels of college education decreases family size, when you have two college graduates together they have fewer
children than non college graduates because they want to maintain a certain lifestyle that having large families makes difficult. Things like having
to commute also make larger families less convenient.
On top of this, women in the west are having children later in life, which means that they have less time to have children and more difficulty having
children.
Obesity is also effecting fertility levels, it's one of the largest contributors to female conception difficulties in the west.
Not to mention things like Chlamydia being more common because women are using chemical birth control rather than barrier protection like in the olden
days. Which is further impacting fertility rates.
The number of different factors goes on and one, and all of which were either predicted or observed prior to covid.
Just take Japan and China, for example, both have been having these problems for 20 or more years. It's getting so bad in China with college graduates
not having children that some cities are bribing them to have more.
