All of Europe is in a crisis of population decline. Only their ‘guest workers’ are growing in numbers through continued immigration and large birth rates. Here in the US, our native TFR is near zero. Slight positive rate to the national average is due to large families and birth rates of our immigrants.
No desire to marry, have families and shoulder responsibilities have very real consequences. You might say that we’re consuming our seed corn without regard to future crops. Abortion has killed 44 million fellow citizens in this country alone.
