  1. Looks like the low-fertility club is big. I guess I’m a rebel for becoming a father last year.

  2. that’s what you get for 2000pln for room to rent and war on your border. np.

  3. Just a handful of countries with a sustainable replacement rate, crazy. Makes me think that its a deeper cultural issue for people not to get children than a materialistic one. My great grandma birthed 9 kids while being dirt poor

  4. We don’t really have the whole Jewish/Muslim families having 4-8 kids here to prop up numbers. Can you imagine how low western Europe numbers would be if they didn’t have Muslim immigration?

  5. Im looking for global conspiracy theories.

    Could this be aliens phasing out humanity?

    AI?

    Environmentalists?

  6. It is about mindset and life conditions, usually opposite with welfare. Even though many european country provides support coming with children rates are really low. Individual life, education, working and as far as I have seen not having gender based roles. There is no reason ı guess for especially woman to waste time or get yourself into struggle. You might constitute longer period , free holiday , money whatever rates are still low.

  7. Banning abortion was a great move, nothing encourages pregnacy as risk of death, because some far right party needs support from the church.

  8. How am i supposed to raise a family if I can’t afford a decent house to live in! Let them raise the real estate prices and mortgages interest even more

  9. The same chart shows Poland had lower total fertility rate than Japan 10 years ago as well.

    What’s the deal with “now”?

  10. Also: people found out the best thing about kids is not having them 😌

  11. Poland has alsmot zero minorities when comparing with West EU countries. Even here in Slovakia we have only bigger numbers because of gypsies minority. It was very visible in last census, where all districts with significant number of gypsies population had also much higher rate then rest of country. And almost in all of these districts gypsies are. now majority under 18 years old.
