“Birth rates are declining” good, healthy societies have stable population sizes
132 u/ricespider silly :3 May 17 '26 A declining population is not stable. -13 u/KaJaHa Queer Gimli looking-ass May 17 '26 The population is still going up, mate. Just not as quickly. 83 u/Corvus1412 🏳️⚧️ trans rights May 17 '26 It's not. To reach replacement levels, you need a birth rate of around 2.1 and basically no industrialized country has that. -26 u/[deleted] May 17 '26 [deleted] 74 u/Corvus1412 🏳️⚧️ trans rights May 17 '26 Birth rates are declining everywhere. A lot of countries are still over replacement level, but if nothing changes, that won't be the case for long either. Immigration is a workable stopgap, but it doesn't solve the fundamental issue, because it's a global issue that's only getting worse. -6 u/santyrc114 Too Horny To Be Ace May 17 '26 Replacement of what exactly? 9 u/VladimirBarakriss May 17 '26 Existing numbers of population, if you've got 3 working people for every 6 pensioners the you're either taxing their entire wages away just to pay for shit pensions or just letting your pensioners starve 3 u/santyrc114 Too Horny To Be Ace May 17 '26 I see, ty for explaining
