Towards the end of the article, there are bar charts showing countries with the highest and lowest fertility rates. Mostly no surprises there: high in Sub-Saharan Africa, low in Europe and east Asia. I was surprised that Puerto Rico of all places (shouldn't be listed as a "country", but regardless) has such a low birth rate of 1.2 children per woman on average, since Latin American societies tend to be very fertile.

It has nothing to do with fertility. It’s by choice.

Sounds stupid but you fix that by getting someone in the Royal Family pregnant. When Diana was carrying her first baby, all the chicks were showing up preggers. Yes, it sounds stupid but just watch the next time it happens - instant baby boom.

Men and women in Western countries stopped valuing the nuclear family more than 50 years ago. Now women are pursuing careers and men are pursuing casual sex. They seek pleasure and focus on themselves instead of living meaningful lives.

Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.
Psalm 128:3

I took a Western Civ class in 1978. The professor at the noted - in 1987 - that we were doomed. He noted then that the...shall we say underclasses in these 3rd world cesspools popped out 10X as many kids the developed world.

When can we stop panicking about “overpopulation,” then?

This is no surprise. It has been known for a long time that civilized countries like the USA, France, Italy, Russia are not making babies.

It has been known for a long time that non-producing, uncivilized societies make a lot of babies.

The non-producers recently found out that they can go to the civilized countries where their non-productivity is rewarded by the guilty, hard-working fools who allow that to happen.

Reasons
* Young guys with incredible student loans
* Declining society (2018 is a cock block society)
* Internet

The Chinese monkeyed with fertility in order to address “overpopulation” fears, and now they are SCROOOD.

Their population is rapidly aging and skews heavily male. They are in a demographic death spiral.

When will people learn that God is smart enough to handle these issues, and we aren’t?

As a child-free person let me at least state my situation.

I never had the "I want to have kids" feeling. Ever. On top of that, my first wife was medically barren. After the 3 years of hell with her, I went over a decade as single.

My current wife and I married in our late 30s. We agreed at that time that we were both too old to have kids (the science is crystal clear).

We discuss our regrets but it has worked out well for us in a lot of ways.

But the loss of fecundity in the West is certainly an issue and I suspect my situation is odd, like the rare "successful single mom."

Fertility is down because faith is down. As an atheist I swore I’d never approve of my wife having a baby. After I got saved we ended up with 8 children. Praise the Lord!

Globalism has made life brutal for the non silver spoon citizen.... Starting out is always daunting now it’s down right scary - especially for the white male types.

I blame it on the effects of women take the “pill”. Contraceptives cause bad effects in a woman’s body.

And it is against what the Bible and the Catholic Church teach.

“Go forth and be fertile and multiply.” Genesis

Here’s their game:

1) Tell people they must abort their babies because environment

2) Tell people they must import hundreds of millions of third-world primitives because they aren’t having enough babies.

See how that works?
