Did anybody notice?
Link to one of the article referenced by the above post, here, where demographers discuss the probable demographic disappearance of most of the "developed" world.
Arrivederci, Romans!
And while we're at it, Sayonara, Au Revoir, Aufwiedersehen, Hasta la Vista.
And a voice from a dark, infernal region cries, "Inshallah!"
bump!
They’ll be Muslim countries in the future... but hey, one generation got cheap labor and 30 day holidays... nice trade-off for killing off countless wonderful cultures...
The low birthrate trend has been cheered by Euro “environmentalist” who will be swamped by the tsunami of muzzie births... along with the rest of Europe.
When I was stationed in Germany, the birth rate was below the replacement level , less than 2 kids per family, because most Germans felt that they couldn't afford children due to the high cost of living and taxes. I might point out that everything was expensive partially due to the value added tax (VAT). The dims have suggested that here.
Possible ping-out?
We have plenty of Liberals, Welfare Queens and illegals to spare. I wonder if they would take them.
One more proof that Liberalism is not only a mental disease but can destroy a civilization.....
I wonder why European countries do not land dozens of jets in Mexico City everyday and just take anyone who will get on them. At least then they would have hard working Christians who would repopulate the European countries. And God only knows it would improve their culinary choices.
And the 'replacement population' being engineered by the Ruling Classes are absolutely and completely governed by non Christian values.
Muslim countries like England and France are in no danger of depopulating.
I’ve often wondered if China will face the same fate. They have survived for thousands of years but their relatively new policies around 1 child per family, which in turn has created a massive number of Males (Well, who survive) will create what I believe will be a pandemic of similar proportions.
That many males with so few females will likely become (Female like), and the few women may want to look outside of their own pool of candidates. It’s like a continual chain of events.
Search for “Muslim Demographics” on youtube. I’d urge everyone to watch the top link. Very interesting.
As Whitey steps down the Muzzies will stand up and replace them by having many children per family per generation.
Mark Steyn did an excellent analysis of this in his book “America Alone.” Highly recommended. He convincingly ties the reduction in birth rate to the marxist takeover of Europe — all the benefits it provided created a hedonistic people only interested in themselves and not their progeny. In addition you have employment permanently stuck at 10%+ and nobody wants to bring a child into such a miserable world.
Coming soon to a country near you!
As the great civilizations fade, there is a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion ready to step in and take over.
When the population of any given nation reaches an economic plateau unique to that nation, suddenly their birth rate drops from strong growth to maintenance levels of between 2.1 and 2.3 children per family. This is natural.
However, culture and most especially government, while they cannot raise this rate, can most certainly lower it further, by making parenting harder. This can be done in several ways.
High taxes, increasing commercial labor demands on women, demands for higher quality of life and education for children, dowry, parental debt such as student loans, high productivity demands from business, and lack of family oriented residences and recreations, as well as lack of religious or cultural acceptance of larger families.
Only in one situation was an industrialized nation that had reached its economic plateau, able to increase its birthrate beyond sustainability.
These were the almost unique circumstances of the post-WWII baby boom.
New towns and cities full of mostly childbearing age parents, with plentiful employment and prosperity, tolerably low taxes, and ample boredom. Having children was almost recreation, was expected of young couples, and was conformist, because that was what their peers were doing.
Importantly, most parents were still *trying* to have just two children, because an “only child” was seen as disadvantaged. But the growth occurred in the margins, with some parents having four or more children skewing the birthrate up significantly.
Until “women’s liberation”, most women were homemakers, with lots of time and energy to raise their own children, and help out with the raising of other children, which significantly improved parenting performance and ease of having children.
At first, the idea of a working mother made sense, especially if she worked during school hours, because she could contribute to family income, increasing family prosperity. However, government immediately interceded to raise taxes so high that to *keep* their current level of prosperity, the wife *had* to work just to pay the new taxes. Thus the family lost the labor of the wife.
Working also took so much energy that there was much less to go for making and raising children. This strongly encouraged parents to have fewer children. Then the culture demanded increasing levels of materialism, to show that parents were “good” parents, which also cause more decline in the number of children.
And the process continues unabated in the western world, and even in the far east.
Just yesterday, it was announced that the “freedom from taxes day” had become August 19th. This sort of thing kills the birthrate.
Over thousands of years Europe’s population has been decimated by wars, plagues, famines etc. again and again. It’s population today is higher than at any time in history.
Gone in 100 years? Kinda sucks when the only math you know is linear extrapolation...
Very well said, Mrs. Don-o.

Both lists. Anyone doubt that the natural family is the foundation of human civilization? Here is proof that it is. It takes people - not just people, but well-raised people with traditional aka "real" morality, to create human civilization. And without sufficient people even in the numbers - collapse is inevitable. Please read Mrs. Don-o's short and truth comments.
Europe is committing suicide. And it isn't just the bare fact that they aren't reproducing, it's WHY they aren't reproducing. What they're choosing instead.
It's all about putting ME ME ME (body and mind) - selfish desires - first, instead of God, and living the way He instructs. Which not only pleases Him, but brings happiness to the heart, and peace to the world.
