LOL they are trying to make it a bad thing. Hell No innocent children should not be expected to becoming Wage Slaves. Take that!

Feminism is definitely one of the reasons there is a birth gap

"A whopping 80% of women without children, childless by circumstance...often featuring the absence of a willing or SUITABLE partner during our fertile years" ...So, just like trying all of the SAMPLES at Costco while never intending to buy that product, women are hooking up with lots of hot guys during their fertile years, guys that they'd like to have kids with..."just not now". And then when their 'Biological Clocks' start going off, suddenly they are willing to give it up to the guys that they never gave a second look to during their proper fertile years, and consequently are never truly happy in these relationships resulting in high divorce rates, and guys have increasingly become aware of the consequences of this female behaviour and are saying "No Ma'am", further exacerbating the issue.

The working class cannot feed itself adequately,cannot house it self properly,the rich get richer,poor & working ckass,cannot afford to live properly, & how can anyone say they should have children they cannot afford,I was a child, that was raised by parents who had no time,both worked,& still did not have enough money for the kids,they'd idiot have,this was not good,poverty bucks !!

We've know the solution to this for decades people. It's taking women's rights away, educating women makes birthrates fall off a cliff.

ASPARATIME IS A POPULATION CONTROLER SWEETENER IN FOODS AND DRINKS , SO WHERE IS IT FOUND?MOST SWEETD CHOCLATE FIZZY DRINKS DIET COKE ETC, ITS A SWEETERNER,, AND THE ONLY FIZZY DRINK THAT DOESN'T HAVE IT IS LILT OF COURSE MUSK GATES NWO (NEW WORLD ORDER) WHO ( WORLD HEALTH(JOKE ) ORGANISATION, ALL KNOW THIS, IT AFFECTS YOUNG CHILDREN REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS , GO GET YOUR KIDS CHECKED FOR THE AFFECTS WITH A DOC AND GET YOUR CLAIM IN QUICK COZ YOU WONT BE HAVING ANY GRAND KIDS MAMA,

Women getting careers outside the home is what did this. Feminists did this.

well well well, I wonder who is going to be fighting the 'Elites' wars for them. Is this what it has to come to before humans find peace with each other, if possible?

Jó lenne, ha nem a háborúra, mészárszékre szülnénk fiainkat, lányainkat. Az élet szép, ha van egy védelmező családod, törzsed. A mai egészségügyi ellátórendszer, szociális rendszer nem arra épül, hogy minden ember függetlenül az anyagi helyzetéhez elérje azt. Ma az egészség ügy egészség üzlet. Minden elüzletiesedett. A családok széthullanak, a pénzt hajszoljuk.

My parents had me in their 40s, i was their last and 4th kid. They wanted to retire by the time i was 18 or so, but they couldn't do it. If they retire, they think wherever they are at that moment is going to be where they will die someday. They have worked since they were teenagers, they could not afford college, the house they bought for a temporary arrangement has been their home for over 20 years. They both get paid very well in high skilled jobs, but they are still middle class. They are going into to debt in their 60s just so they can have a decent house for their retirement years. Only one of my siblings went to college, but they were already independent by then. The first kid my parents could afford to send to college was me, but i required medical attention instead so i never got a degree either. My mom had a rough relationship with her parents, she ran away from home as a teen and it took years before she got back in touch with them, but they have never been what you call close. Her parents divorced so i have 3 grandparents on my mom's side, the mean one got remarried, go figure. My dad's mom died young, his dad was crude and mean, my dad had over 6 brother's and sisters, none of them are close either. Both my mom and dad had divorced at least once before, all 3 of my siblings are half siblings and at least 10 years older than i am. - So, imagine family gatherings full of forced smiles and conversations, and a lone kid among a couple dozen people who are all 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years older..... To make matters worse, my mom says she quit school and work in order to take care of me when i was little, but when i got old enough to remember her being there... she wasn't there. She spent the next 20+ years putting work before everything else. My dad has worked himself to the bone since long before i was born, and yet he always found time to be there for me, but... it came at a cost every time. My parents raised me to be an "independent individual", my mom refuses to be my friend even though im an adult now, my siblings don't say more than 2 sentences to me a year even when we were younger and living under the same house, the only "quality time" i ever got with my dad is if i learned how to help him fix cars, run errands, and keep up with whatever he did. And all of that was the greatest amount of connection that i ever had to ANY of my blood relations. My greatest sense of connection with ANYTHING, was solitude - in solitude my mistakes were forgiven, my successes rewarded, my emotions accepted, my needs and wants listened to, and the world around me did not need to exist. So, to sum it up, my impression of family is a group of people who live under the same roof and have to same blood. Family isn't there to support you, it's there to drag you down and make you help everyone except yourself, helping yourself and controlling others through power manipulation is what decides who gets the most respect as a human being, emotions are just a side dish that gets in the way or gets punished if it's expressed "too much", and if you don't surrender everything you have to the family in return for the "support" they do give you then you are shamed and considered worthless. Now, completely ignoring the fact that i have a medical condition which makes the very idea of having a child sound like a death sentence, and the fact that doctors keep telling me im going to "suddenly change my mind about having one someday anyway" - tell me, why would i be motivated to pass on all of my emotional shit down to someone else? They won't even have any family to raise them, besides myself, simply because i DO NOT want the so called "family" i know to have any part of that kid's life - who knows if I'll even find a partner who will actually stick around, im not what you would call "the ideal" person, the world in my head will often out shine the here and now, and i have no idea what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like. (But, even though i don't want a kid of my own, i like kids a lot and my purpose in life actually has a lot to do with making this world a better place for them to live in - not a world that is more "convenient", but one that actually makes life worth living for a change. Such as, if i were a kid again, what could i do to make life worth living? - actually, now that i think about it, i was a perfectly good kid, but for some reason i wanted to commit suicide as a kid, now tell me, in what world does a good kid wish they were not alive? to be willing to face the ultimate fear of death and think it is the better option? I'll tell you, it's because this world is not designed for kids, it is designed for the working class adults and the rich, NO ONE ELSE.)

I work in preschool. Twoo years ago I mentioned to my colleagues that in 10 or 15 years we will be out of work because there will not be children to teach. They were all like - nooo, children will be born always, we will never be out of work... Old times thinking. I'm 39 and a lot of my peers are childless for a variation of reasons - some women can't get their partners to commit, some have waited so long that thay have healt problems incompatible with pregnancy (endometriosis, a lot of times undiagnosed, blocked fallopian tubes etc.), some have wasted their fertile years on men that are just not husband and father material - they have adictions, have no job or have a child/children with ex-partner and don't want any more children. Men I know are equally if not more delusional - they are in their forties, out of shape, fat, bold, they still haven't reached the wealth they were hoping to have by 40 years of age AND they think they still have plenty of time to meet a perfect woman 🙈how?!

I didn’t have a child until age 39. I never thought about having kids being anything but negative when I was younger. I don’t think either of my parents had stable families and the skill to raise kids wasn’t great. I don’t think my mom liked being a mom. My dad stuck around after the divorce and tried and was great for having little example but was also always depressed. My older brother, really half-brother, was always in trouble and got into drugs. It always seemed like we were the black sheep amongst the extended family, so there’s no connection there. It’s tough raising a kid with so little generational knowledge. My mom died long before my son was born, and my dad didn’t have any child-raising information to share. We literally had to consult the internet and sift through the information to glean what worked. I love my son so much. In a different timeline, I would have had more kids, but we’re very blessed to have had him. I hope that he will have a family when he grows up, and I want to do everything I can to make sure that he has our support for the rest of the lives we have on this earth. My dad’s currently going through dementia at almost 90. We all care for him, but now I’m scared of being a burden for my son in old age. We don’t have anything close to the financial security of my dad. Taxation and inflation scare me for the future - for us retiring if possible and for him thriving in the US.

I’m not martyring myself to produce more meat for this grinder.👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

This is a first world pale skin problem.

Its happening because we are keep talking about over population 😂 and now we doomed

I love all the excuses of affordability when it comes to kids. No timing or finances is ever perfect. HAVE YOUR BABIES

Who wants to bring a future wage slave into this evil world to suffer?

Just to be clear... We can have overpopulation and a population colapse at the same time... The first is in absolute terms ...

Feminism: have career AND kids Reality: Choose ONE

Listen we all know that women are The Gatekeepers of sex. Women are choosing to not be parents. There is no shortage of men that are willing to have sex with you. You're just being too damn picky. You'd be surprised most men will step to the plate to raise a child that they fathered. It is part of our DNA to serve and Protect.

Nothing can grow forever, neither population nor economy. There is time for growth, time for decline; the circle goes on and things will balance out themselves eventually.

A bird will not lay eggs until a suitable nest is built. Can we blame young people for not having children when they can hardly support themselves?

Look, there are places in the world that are still having a population explosion. Undeveloped countries are having too many children, and these populations are also people who are desperate to immigrate to the US, Canada, and Europe. Hmmm.... seems like a perfect solution is hiding in plain sight!

Post cricis birth rate reduction, is more like a natural reaction to uncertainty and cost of living crisis.

Lol, the man at the last part couldn't care less. I don't like how he is so careless and the woman cares. We shouldn't give birth for anyone with that kind of attitude. That's the general attitude of 99% of males by the way. They don't want kids and it's always the woman who suffers bodily ad financially. So if there are no generous government packages, why should women have to pop up new taxpayers?

why is this happening? well if people are constantly stressing out about how they are going to be able to financially support themselves, how can they then consider supporting a child? especially when you live in the United States where social services is determined to do anything and everything they possibly can do to take the children you have away from you? thats my experience. i loved my one and only child i had so much. but i will never entertain the thought of more. it doesn't matter because im getting too old to bear any more children now. you have TWO things happening. one, you have people with successful "happy" career lives and they say repetitively that they dont want children to interfere with that. on the second hand, you have people who would make good parents they are good people who care and want a better life but they are struggling to support themselves amd are literally living week to week in dire conditions wondering if they can pay their rent from month to month. aside from Denmark, it seems to me as if our nations leaders want things to continue this way. The world wouldn't be designed like this if they didnt. I am an only child who has only had one child herself. it is true we are rare.

Leave it to Elon to say the most with the fewest words. "In Japan, adult diapers outsell baby diapers."

Of course it's economics! In the past women often didn't have a lot of choice as to having children and now we do. We look at our own lives and relationships and say no thank you or 'later,' when I'm more secure. We know that outside of (maybe) sone financial help, it's mostly going to be all on our shoulders and if he decides to walk, we'll be screwed unless we make a lot of money and don't give up work. As far as the greying population (I'm one), governments could tax the corporations and wealthy to pay for it until we reset to a new normal. Wouldn't hurt to start paying people more and not working them to death too so they have time to develop relationships and a reasonable ability to pay for and see the children they want us to have.

It's not per woman, it's per family!!! Don't remove men from the conversations. They seem to be the ones more concerned. Families have children. Without support who wants to have children.

Too much trauma the women can’t take it no more.

A reduction in human population is actually good for earth and its other flora and fauna. Certain finite resources will stretch longer for humanity.

We are now reaping the whirlwind of overpopulation. Any person who isn't aware of it is the type who has to get hit directly in the head with the ball bat before they wake up. Those who point to Ehrlich, Malthus, and The Club of Rome, for missing the exact date of the fall are missing the substance of the issue. Environmental collapse does not occur on a "date" and at a certain "time" as if it were an atomic bomb. Well, the bomb has gone off starting perhaps 60 years ago or more. We are now starting to feel the aftershocks of the detonation. We are now in the midst of the whirlwinds with Earth Warming, freshwater depletion everywhere, floods and droughts occurring back-to-back, unpredictable weather around the planet, the natural environment being destroyed across the planet, and animals and plants reaching extinction at a rate never before in Planet Earth's history. And all because of man's overpopulation. We have no overpopulation problem? Maybe we need a stronger term of description. Maybe we need to call it an overpopulation "disaster" to get people to pay attention to it. Paul Ehrlich's book, The Population Bomb, only brought discussions, and mainly with academic people. In reality, anyone who is not fully aware of this state is in simple denial of the truth and only intense suffering "may" convince them otherwise. But I wouldn't bet money on that either. It makes no difference. Our suffering is now underway and just beginning.

Why don't they create affordable child care, free healthcare & a support system for women, if they want us to birth children?

No Access to Dharma > Population Explosion June 27, 2021 There are a couple of things I want to touch on to simplify what is happening around us today. We have the issue of the population explosion. The reason it is happening, it appears, is because we don't have access to dharma, real spiritual knowledge. One aspect is that we don't know how to live in a righteous manner, and I am speaking from a Hindū perspective, not from a Christian perspective. Because we don't know how to live that way, and because we don't know who we are as spiritual beings having a human experience for some time (as opposed to the Christian perspective of us being humans striving for that elusive spiritual experience), we are trapped in the cycle of death and rebirth. This leads to another aspect, how rebirth happens and why this leads to the population explosion. See, if we don't know right thinking, right action (dharma) and who we really are as spiritual beings, we can't leave earth and make way for the living beings coming up behind us in consciousness development, very much like 4th graders making way for the next batch of 4th graders by moving up to the 5th grade. Instead, we keep staying in the 4th grade, meaning the classes get much bigger with each passing year. Very few people manage to make it to the 5th grade. The reason is, life as humans is supposed to be a temporary stage of life, all the way from very small life forms through the varying forms living in the past and today, up through the primates into the human body, and finally into something else not of this world, onward to yet something else. Yet we are stuck here, and meanwhile, the animals who develop sufficient awareness move into additional human bodies, because there's nowhere else for them to go, as their animal bodies cannot contain their consciousness above a certain point. This is manifest through the Universe in the form of a seemingly unexplained heightened sex drive. There is also the problem with "unmet desires" in the West, because of how people's experiences of life are controlled by the demons of the West, the politicians, the bankers, the media houses, the corporatists, etc. See, as long as people have unmet desires, they are going to return to rebirth on Earth until they are met before they can move on to raising their consciousness. Because of the lack of mind sciences of dharma, people are unable to control their minds sufficiently to be able to grow spiritually. This, unfortunately, leads to the phenomenon of reinforcing the Western mindset with each rebirth, making it more difficult to return to a natural mindset (Indic/Asian/Aborigine/Native/etc.) and much more likely that a person who tries to escape ultimately returns back to the Christian Western mindset. Westerners use the rebirth process, even if they say there is only one life to live, to stack up more and more knowledge at a subconscious level that sets them against everyone else in a cunning and militaristic way. You might as well be dealing with people who are around 200 years old with a lifespan potential of 500 years - there is so much damage they can do before they leave this world. It's like this. Because I was seven and a half years old when I finally learned to communicate in my mother tongue of this life, English, I can remember clearly the days of learning the ABCs, learning some words, etc. The letters seemed familiar to me, and English came easily to me in spite of the messed up model of teaching language to a deaf person, the only option available at the time in the 70s. To understand this better, imagine that you are an Algebra student and not very good at maths. You struggle and drop out during the first semester. You take it again, and you get a bit further before dropping it again, and finally, on the third try, you pass the class with a "C" average. A semester is like a lifetime. AND because the understanding of this maths becomes more ingrained with each exposure, you may even pass it in the next life with a B average or better on the first try. It will seem vaguely familiar in the sense that you "get it" when the teacher shows how to carry out a math operation like solving equations. Lack of access to dharma is the bottleneck that leads to the population explosion, resulting from the inability to evolve beyond human form and the inability to make way for the other conscious beings evolving to where you once had been before.

Annoying that you’ve only provided half the video. I won’t be recommending this to anyone: it’s simply clickbait to get people to pay on Patreon.

The connection is feminism/feminist ideals and pushing women into the workforce and away from the home/nuclear families...

One dad used to be able to support his wife and 3 kids with a regular old job. Now both parents have to work that same job just to support themselves.

Common driving factor: women have had enough of it all? Global birthing strike? How about this?

Where can I find part 2?

Maybe this is natures way of keeping balance. Humans are not the only species on this planet.

When I see this I am reminded of a scientific experiment with rats and giving them a welfare space in which they can eat drink and entertain themselves all they want. This leads to a lot of rat sex and rat babies. Until the space becomes too full of rats and thus too small to enjoy, then there is a natural decline. Maybe something like that? Also, I think we have lost the extended family support structure. It is al about individualism now. Family often meant/means obligation. People want to feel free and individualise but then don't have the family support. Maybe that's another reason for having less children, it just seems too big to handle.

I strongly believe the focus has switched soo much so the population is collapsing. Have kids young then grow as a family but now it’s focus on you get a career for you buy a house BEFORE thinking about a family. The emphasis has been sooo driven to making sure the environment is just right the finances in line everything in order that people are just not having them or can’t. I look back on my life and I’m glad I made at the time stupid decisions. I had 2 kids very young I then started my career I then bought the house. I’m now early 40s with 2 adult kids and still young enough to enjoy life to the full grow my career. We have lost focus on family

The challenges are degrading and embarrassing. Showing skin and twirling and dancing like a porn and strippers...anyway continue ow. The world's image of the black women, is the black american women

village can raise a child but not by forcing your siblings to take care fo them....metnal health matters also producvtity is if no use even when you have children...you may work hard to give them inheritance but they can be a dissapointment no matter how good you or your village raise them

The tax on childlessness was a natalist policy imposed in the Soviet Union and other Communist countries, starting in the 1940s. Joseph Stalin's regime created the tax in order to encourage adult people to reproduce, thus increasing the number of people and the population of the Soviet Union. The 6% income tax affected men from the age of 25 to 50, and women from 20 to 45 years of age.The tax remained in place until the collapse of the Soviet Union. This propaganda communist policy made the Soviet Union's birth rate always between 2.6-2,3 during the period 1960 -1990 . And the Soviet Union was the first country in the world to legalize abortion

Nobody accuses the USA for inflicting the Cold War, Mutually Assured Destruction and inevetable feeling of hopelessness of baby boomers. Thanks USA for black pilling me in my young adulthood. I decided, childless at 40, game over so live off the Dole and never work again.

The africans will replace the native population of countries with low birth rates. This is already happening and the entire world will become a huge third world. This will be the result of capitalism.

Of course- if we went back to the old school system where each family took care of their elderly relatives instead of making it a government expense……. Then people would start having more kids!!! My grandmother babysat the kids whenever my parents had to work so there was no daycare expense which meant my mom didn’t have to work more than 30 hours or so to earn enough to supplement the family income since my dad worked full time. Schools were more reliable- I learned the academic basics without the gender propaganda. Thi is all by design thanks to elites and global politicians. Less people for them to have to control to get the subservient older populations they want. Young people will get angry and figh. They don’t want that.

The reason is simple we don’t care about anything except ourself and our life style and freedom now a days freedom is more important then life we think people living in a backward country’s with conservative values are suffering I need to be saved and see the light. The more societies move a way from faith in god the more they stop having kids.

I got three kids and it is extremely hard to get forward financially. It is getting worse by the years, in my country taxes just go up and up for whatever excuse to a point that I need to choose between food or heating.
