“The low fertility rate, which has persisted for about three decades, will continue to contribute to low birth rates, especially in the context of the systematic decline in the number of women of reproductive age,” wrote the agency. “This trend is further exacerbated by the persistently high level of emigration abroad.”
It troubles me that this topic immediately falls into discussions of solutions, and especially the turning of that to immediately think of restricting human movement, without any regard for the possibility that this is not a tragedy of some sort but instead something normal and fine.
It also troubles me that no attention seems to be paid as to why birth rates started falling so significantly in 2020. Mass infertility seems like something worth noting on a medical level, but people are stuck going “brown skin people no come here” like some kinda fucking morons
