Im not surprised. Our system punishes having children on so many levels.
My generation is at the point where we respect that not everybody wants or should have children. So that means that those couples, who are qualified for it, would need to make up for it and have like 4 children or more. But our system leaves those parents alone for the most part to the point that you have to rely on family to provide the needed support. If your family is not capable of doing so, then its impossible to have that many children, youre already overwhelmed with 2 and will take heavy penalties for it.
So guess what? We dont get enough children.
How to fix it? Well lets start with not deducting paternal leave from the pensions. And lets grant child care workers a priority spot for their children in the child care they work in. We currently have profesional child care takers who need to stay at home to take care of their own children because they cant find a spot for their children. Thats a failed system.
Then increase pay for these systems and make it more attractive to work in. Fight stigmas so that men are more comfortable working in these areas.
Thats how you get an environment where young couples feel able to get children.
Can’t afford shit, can’t save shit.Everything gets more expensive at ridiculous rates, but people are supposed to have kids? Even when the kids exist, keeping them well cared for is astronomically expensive.
No wonder it lists Frankfurt, Freiburg and München. € is the most important indicator these days.
I don’t think 2022 is good example year due to covid.
The answer to population decline is as can be seen on the map, christianity or other religion. EU needs to push more people to churches, mosques, synagogues, etc
Dying country.
But hey, at least old people got rich by not allowing any more houses to be built, and forcing women to work sure made GDP look good for a generation or two
I wouldn’t have thought that Berlin is that red in comparison to Munich. I thought it was THE family city in the country.
The average value for Germany is +43.6% deaths btw.

It’s because all the young people left East Germany, leaving behind elderly people who of course create death rate outlying statistics.

No wonder Clap’emburg is topping this statistics.
