Korea to Triple Baby Payments After It Smashes Own Record for World’s Lowest Fertility Rate

[Red Shield]

birth rate is collapsing globally. Hell even Africa's tfr is going down.. so the big population projects decades out I don't think are gonna hold.

Truth be told that's fine.. but folk can't accept that infinite growth is not possible in a finite world

There is a reason why them European nations opened up their borders for alot of immigrants and refugees in the past 20-30 years. They saw them population numbers and knew something had to be done. They ain't bringing people to their countries because they are "nice"....its all business.

Japan, China and Korea..their long term future is BLEAK...you will see them opening up their borders in the next 10-20 years because their shyt is on a freefall right now.

Society has always been migratory. The reason Afghanistan got so many eye colors is cause people from other places were banging when they went though.

The only difference now has been instead of trade( human and otherwise) it has been because of conflict.

East Asia has been mostly conflict from large military free except for Vietnam ( mostly military takeovers) for the last 30 years. So there hasn’t been that cyclical death then rebirth from wars.

I wouldn't say their futures are bleak. Their populations aren't gonna go to 0

also I doubt the asian nations will open their borders up. They will want to keep their countries homogeneous.


I mean yeah the Euro's did that.but the euro's still wanna be all up in the picture overconsuming resources. So to some extent they gotta allow folk coming to their country

A child costs $300k to raise fukk that

why is its birth rate so low?

Selfishness and focus on work, instead of focusing on family/tradition etc. its a side effect of modern societies. procreation isnt a priority anymore.


Its not really a money thing because, just ask the millions of folks living in favelas of brazil or indian slums; and you'll see that if someone really wants to have kids then they will do it. Consequences be damned.


You could double or even triple the monetary amount that SK is offering and folks would still create imaginary barriers and expenses to raising a child. Think of how nigerians in medicine or indians in tech still manage to have many kids (even before finishing their proffesional training) while their white counterparts in the same economic condition refuse to do the same.

its not about the population going to 0. its about having a growing number of old people who live longer and less young people. Its a disaster and why these east asians are trying to do something now. Hell even China is changing their visa system right now to allow Africans to stay longer.

how is it selfish to not have kids you can't afford?

 

[Paradoxx]

Didn’t they have a feminist cult that even the president was a part of?

It was cult with a fusion of Christianity, Buddhism and some having Korean mysticism thrown in.

It had hardly had anything to do with feminism, where did you get that from?

Capitalism.

I added more to my original post before i saw your message, but my addition to that post answers your question.


There will be an infinite amount of barriers to procreation if you do not prioritize it. Those who prioritize it and value family/tradition will do it in any condition. its very similar to how somebody who doesnt prioritize education will make excuses not to go to college, while another person in the same (or worse) condition will work two jobs and spend 6yrs busting their azz to get a 4yr degree.



Modern society breeds folk who prioritize themselves and their own condition moreso than the idea of family. You have folks making several times more money than their own parents had at their birth, talking about not-having-enough-money to have kids. Or like the example below

Think of how nigerians in medicine or indians in tech still manage to have many kids (even before finishing their proffesional training) while their white counterparts in the same economic condition refuse to do the same.

I think China's gonna be just fine.

I just looked it up, your right. Northern and Southern Africa is around 2 kids for the most part and central Africa has a high birthrate but its falling massively every decade. Ghana is dropping a full 1% every year. Its about to be a fukking children of men future soon.......

 

[the bossman]

Too late for a policy like this to have the desired impact. China Japan and Korea gonna look real spooky soon.

West Africa and India on the other hand been fukking like jackrabbits
