Why stop population decline?
Let’s just take it easy.
Indeed. There are too many humans by at least one order of magnitude. The only reason we need population growth is to perpetuate the capitalistic ponzi scheme government and corporations are running.
The right wing is the first to notice that's why they are trying to outlaw ~~Sheep killing~~ abortions.

Jokes on them, countries tried abortion bans to boost TFR,
Anti Choice Mindset has not and does not work, unless you want to be really really brutal like 70s/80s Romania
Because the age imbalance will be fundamentally crippling to everything we understand about economics. Basically the only young people left in 50 years will be working only to sustain the older population, or old people will be forced to work until they’re much much older.
So? Let it be.
Isn't much else we can do, but it's still going to cause massive issues.
Let’s eat bitterness
Or, we can eat bitterness. Sure, why not? We have no freewill anyway.
Yo dog, that's a photo of Taiwan. We are not part of China.
Wait, didn't the photo say "Lightning Over China and Taiwan"
It's sorta misleading. The story is about China. We here in Taiwan don't have a birthrate problem.
The richer the country, the less children are born per-household. The one-child policy couldn't have helped either
Japan vs Taiwan France vs Poland Czech vs Hungary
There are so many exceptions to that rule it's crazy
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
