Agreed, all our vital services depend on them and globally there is a real problem now with declining birthrates.

Japan's birthrate has risen for the first time in eleven years. You want higher birthrates in industrialised societies? Make it easier for people to raise healthy, well fed, well educated children without completely sacrificing their other dreams.

Births in Japan edge up 0.4% in January-June, thanks to Tokyo
This is the first increase in the first half in 11 years, with the capital’s 4.7% jump in births being the highest among all prefectures.

It’s hard to imagine that ‘developed’ countries won’t be competing for immigrants before long, with ageing population profiles and low birthrates together depriving us of the resources to maintain economies and expected lifestyles.
Climate change and wars will bring them to us anyway.

When people frame the closures as mostly due to falling birthrates, and not revenue dysfunction or migration out of the school district, they are hiding 2/3 legs of the stool in a way that makes the current scale of closures seem inevitable.

TBH, the real threat to the UK’s benefits bill isn’t scroungers. It’s the growing number of state pensioners. I’ll be one myself in under two years, so this isn’t about denying anyone a decent pension. But with birthrates falling and net migration shrinking, who’s going to foot the bill?
Reality check: Welfare spending in the U.K. ranks in the middle of OCED countries and is one of the lowest welfare spends versus EU countries at only 10.8% of GDP.

I mean, Pratchett had rats evolving intelligence due to scavenging in the Unseen University garbage dump. Rats, cockroaches, etc would mutate faster and evolve quicker due to shorter lives and high birthrates. At the least, immunities to Repel Vermin & Remove Disease are to be expected.

Okay, but the state-by-state thing is an American peculiarity; the histories of suffrage over here varied greatly (France for example didn't allow it until after WW2, because of biopolitical paranoia about birthrates), but we don't have gender-crits and our medical civil society isn't anti-trans.

Then we have temporal apocalypses: things like demographic shifts. Overpopulation is already fading as an issue as many countries begin to shrink. Underpopulation may do the same if birthrates stabilize.
This also ties in to industrialization: once it's played out in the developing world, that's it

Public schools are bracing for a double blow: declining birthrates (a decades-long trend) and deportations disrupting immigrant families. The latter is accelerating, per @BBCNews data, leading to sudden enrollment drops in districts with high migrant populations. Long-term funding and resource alloc

Watching people who align themselves, politically, with those "concerned with American birthrates" lose their absolute minds when people call out or work to care for their kids will never stop being hilarious because it's a completely self-defeating ideaology.

your birthrates being low is not ethnic cleansing, уоu dumb gammon trаsh. Ethnic cleansing is the intentional removal/erasure of ethnic groups.

RT @matthewktromp: I don't understand the catastrophizing that right-wing accelerationists seem to engage in so freely. We need AGI because otherwise birthrates will fall? And we need to accept a significant risk of everyone on earth dying to avert that?
