  • That’s not birth rates, that’s fertility rate. One measures births/1k and the other is an average of births per woman on their “child bearing lapse”.

    Japan might have a fertility rate of 1.2 but they have 6 births/1000 people. Argentina with 1.5 have 11.1 births/1000

    A more relevant measure is “Natural change”, it measure people death vs people birth not counting immigration:

    India has +13 millions. Japan has -870k. China has -2 millions.

    South Korea is “only” losing -77k people per year.

    There are like 30~ countries that have negative population per year out of 197. Birthrates and fertility rate are going down each year, but not every country is losing population by it.

  • Honestly, just do whatever you can do that let you sleep well at night. It’s all most people can do. Maybe we can’t stop these things, but eventually we all die, even those in power. What we can do is not being part of the problem and teach those who come after the same in hopes that in the future (if there’s one) there will be more good people than bad.

    Just keep your conscience clean in hope that the next generation get inspired by that.
