In the last few years, Americans began to realize what most Europeans and many East Asians had realized last decade: We’re in the middle of a global Baby Bust.
Birthrates are falling in almost every country. Many countries have shrinking populations.
The Total Fertility Rate is the most important measure of the birth rate. It is a modeled number that calculates how many babies each woman is having in her lifetime. Every wealthy country besides Israel has a TFR below 2, as do China and India. That means the adults in all of those countries are not replacing themselves.
A TFR of 2.1 is commonly accepted as the “replacement level.” A population with a TFR of 2.1 will, absent net migration, maintain a steady population. Lower than 2.1, and in the long run you will shrink. Higher than replacement, and your population will grow in the long run.
The world’s TFR was 2.25 in 2023, according to the United Nations — a 12% decline in just 10 years. If that pace of decline continues, the world will be below 2.1 in just a couple of years. The U.N. projects that the current TFR decline will slow, and the birthrate will still be at 2.2 in 2030.
But even if the birthrate stopped falling and stabilized where it is now, we may still be doomed to steady depopulation, according to one economist.
Jesus Fernandez-Villaverde argues first that the current TFR is probably lower than the U.N.’s estimate, and second that the real replacement level is higher than 2.10.

Remember when the intelligentsia/elites were worried about world over population? Now they are hand-wringing over low birthrates. Just goes to show all the “crises” they blather on about are phony.
Fear not! You’re alive. A lot of you can have babies. You’re in the driver’s seat!
“The world’s birthrate may already be below replacement level”
There are some places where that would be a good thing.
[Most women throughout history have rejoiced in children, because they represented comfort and protection in old age.]
Another sign of the Last Days, IMHO
“without natural affection” - that applies to Obama’s besties, too
I wanted to have kids but I picked, ummm, not very well
Maybe I should try Southeast Asia........cough
Yes, you should. 😀
Sure seems like it these days
God bless you bro
Thank you. You are absolutely correct.
Check out this report from a guy in Sweden

correct. (Infertility)
My granddaughter just gave birth to her 2nd son...10 lbs 3 oz born AT HOME! She plans on having 2 more. All her children will be Christian God fearing humans. Makes me feel good to know they will be there after I’m gone.
Muslims make up 8 percent of Sweden. Unfortunately, with a small population, it’s 225K Muslims make a large impact.
an excellent episode.
i always felt the writers for SG-1 did a very good job on the time travel stories.
And may all your grandchildren and all my grandchildren be Auburn fans! War Eagle!
People actually believe this handmaid razzgarbage. I have a leftist step granddaughter, 26 years old, who wants to have her fallopian tubes removed just in case Trump wins. No reasoning with crazy.
Yet most of both them support the Left. Thus the question for them and for all is:
Indeed.
Islam is hardly pro-life simply because they don’t condone abortion.
They are pretty pro-death otherwise.
Yup—lets drop some bombs on Russia.
What could possibly go wrong?
(Of course we could get our hair mussed....)
