China's fertility rate is estimated to have dropped to a record low of 1.09 in 2022, the National Business Daily said on Tuesday, a figure likely to rattle authorities as they try to boost the country's declining number of new births.

    A dictatorship can’t force fertility… or can it?

        Yup, one of the most fascinating videos I’ve ever seen was on the subject- fertility rates did go up, but all the kids ended up getting raised by orphanages that abused the shit out of them.

      No one’s been able to reverse it so far, not even the countries that have increased child support. Personally, I think if we go all-in on restructuring our economy to support child-rearing then it will reverse, but I think it’s too radical and expensive for countries to consider.

      Republicans are trying. Just have to make women carry to conception, outlaw abortion especially when rape happens.
