Why would “lower immigration“ lead to fewer Danes?
Scientists 20 years ago: Have fewer kids! The foremost problem of the World is overpopulation, don’t contribute to it!
Scientists now: Why do you have so few kids? The population is declining fast. We need migrants from places where they didn’t listen to us!
More resources for less people. That is a good thing to look for.
If I could I’d be moving there right away. I absolutely loved København when I visited in December.
6 million waw almost the same as number as ….
All countries will reach stagnation or negative birth rates around 2070, it is the inevitable consequence of having a modernized society (with healthcare, pensions, and birth control). This is known in academia among social scientists and even the UN has noted it.
It’s known as the “demographic transition” in social sciences, and is one of the closest things to a law that social scientists have found when investigating how societies work, so far all societies have gone or are going through the same stages of the demographic transition. Kurzgesagt made a video explaining the concept some years ago: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBT5EQt348](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsBT5EQt348)
Is it more than before or less than before?
People who have never lived in a muslim majority country cannot comprehend the wrongfulness of excepting religious/ practicing muslim refugees.
Growing or shrinking?
From which direction?
The demographic mushroom. A smaller proportion of taxpayers support a massive older population.
I don’t know a lot about demographics but it looks like the most rich and happy countries usually have the lowest birth rates.
Congrats. We Finns are highly jealous of your economic success.
Isnt winter like 7 months for the Danish? What else you doing indoors all those months if not fuckin?
The media loves saying “fertility” when they should be saying “birthrate”, i.e. it’s a choice to have fewer children not a medical complaint! 🤦🏼
Before you go all doomer about lower birth rates you need to look back at the last time there was negative growth of population. That was the first black plague. This event led to better working conditions for people and set the course of modern Europe, the only people who are sounding alarm bells are the ones who want more meat for the grinder.
You had me at
>Could lead to significantly fewer Danes
What is the problem? We can not continue to grow infinitely, our leaders need to plan for this. Expecting populations to grow and grow is unrealistic
How do they have even less people than belgium …
They just don’t give a fuck
Denmark, Finland and Norway had as long as I can remember had 5+ million inhabitants. I guess it’s end of an era…
Why is it bad that i have more space for mw ? Why does this space has to be filled with indians ?
Not only Denmark, Korea (south) is even worse
Thinking that the earth’s human population can continue to grow infinitely is more disturbing than stagnating birthrates
Congratulations 👏
What‘s the worst that can happen if the danes decline slowly? The pension system is f-ed anyway for the coming decades, even if there were 1% more danes every year. Let denmarks population decline without fear and let denmark be full of danes, even if there‘s continuously less of them. Don’t follow germanys immigration policy.
Congratulations!
I was going to say on this day we are all danish, but that would totally mess up the statistics.
I though Italy was the only one having this problem, that’s good! (Fucking No)🥲
Well, the upper class there gave the Global Oligarchists a gift of 70 years old for pension benefits like SkyFox/OAN/NewsMax is pushing here. Why have children when they will be worked to death and receive no benefits or retirement. You eliminated retirement. Funny how that affects the working class and their desire to run your wealth extraction machines.
They just need to allow more South Americans in… Law-abiding ones with a psychological assessment, or an education. But no, let’s favor the back countries of mesopotamia.
I’ve said it many times before, but it’s gonna be hilarious to see all the childless millennials in 20/30 years screaming for Gen z/alpha to have kids because muh pension
Someone explain why we can’t have reduced populations instead of growing without limitations?
Surely the system would adapt to a lower population.
The big issue is that older people vote more, and there are more and more older people.
Most old people don’t care for political changes that incentivize population growth, because it doesn’t benefit them much, or at all, before they no longer work or are dead.
There are a few ways to increase population growth. The most obvious one is to incentivize more people having children. Why do people not have children?
– Growing cost-of-living, especially in urban areas.
– Lack of good places to live near jobs and largw communities
– Concern about the future, specifically climate and nature, as well as even harsher economic situations that future generations might face. The war in Ukraine also shows a future with more conflict closer to home.
Now, how do we fix those issues? Lowering the cost of living means groceries and basic necessities becoming cheaper. This will impact the companies making money, which the conservative and blue parties won’t like.
Guess who votes conservatively and blue? The older generations.
How do we fix lack of living spaces in urban environments? We make sure that nobody monopolizes and earns gigantic income on renting apartments and houses in the bigger cities. Which will hurt the big companies, which the conservative parties won’t like.
Guess who votes conservatively and blue? The older generations.
How do we fix concerns about climate and nature? We switch as fast as possible to clean electricity and we heavily tax anyone who produces harmful products for the climate and nature. The most harmful things are farming for animal feed, which is 90% of the farming done in Denmark. That hurts the farmers who refuse to modernize and the big companies exploiting the environment, which the blue conservative parties won’t like.

And the circle continues! Now, could we look at immigration to help plug some of the rapidly dwindling population of workers? Sure! I’m sure everyone will like tha- and the conservative parties hate immigrants. Well shit. Maybe we could spend money on attempting solid integration policies to make sure the people immigrating will integrate with the culture? No, of course not, blue conservatives parties, because that would be spending money on people who “don’t belong here” that can go “back to their own countries”.
Well, turns out we have some solutions, but large chunk of the population working solidly against combating the issue early on. I’m sure this will turn out great in 30 years…
You need an average of 3 salaries to raise 3 children and this means there is no possibility to raise the birthrates.
Also there is no safe net for the young couples and no tribe to help the young parents so no wonder that we are here….

Are all 6 million of them in this photo?
