No one will deal with the elephant in the living room, at least in the West - which is Liberalism.

When most of us were young here, women had few choices in life - be a school teacher, a secretary, or home maker, and most didn’t go to college. So most became a home makers, but then that gets a bit boring if no little ones.

Now we come to present day. Women can do anything they want, and even have rules bent for them, when necessary. They are more numerous than men in college, and many, if not most have careers. Children get in the way and can easily be prevented via abortion/contraception.

Sure some, many, put children first. Go to Japan, even Tokyo, and you’d be wondering what all of the fuss is about - lots of little Japanese kiddies (with hot-looking moms, by the way). But it’s the women you don’t see out with their kids during the day that is killing the country. In fact, 30 years ago when Japan Inc. was buying out the United States, Rush joked that all we needed to do was ‘export liberalism’ to them. We did (they ended their patriarchal system there), and they’ll soon be finished as a major power (unless they want to get serious about fixing it).

So, how to fix it? Simple - society has to accept that women having children is a CAREER CHOICE now, where in the past they were essentially forced into it. Sure, some make the right choice, but only, maybe, half of them now (if that). So make it profitable for them, so they can both afford the nice mini-van and have kids at the same time. So, PAY THEM to have kids (and tell Greta to F-off). Barring that, it’s game over for the west - there is no middle ground. Some countries are starting to do that, and are getting some results, but they need to step it up.

"If these predictions are even half accurate, migration will become a necessity for all nations and not an option.”

This BS, nonsensical phrase was mentioned several times in the article.

If the predictions are accurate, then there won't be anyone to migrate in.

Robots can easily replace migrants.

Wow, you win the prize for one of the dumbest comments ever posted here, and that is quite an accomplishment.

Industrialism happened in the 19th century and produced a lot of prosperity.

Socialism, communism, and war were the hallmarks of the twentieth century. One of Marxism central themes is animosity towards the family. Anyone with two brain cells can figure it out from there.

“ The population of sub-Saharan Africa is expected to treble in size to more than three billion people by 2100.
And the study says Nigeria will become the world’s second biggest country, with a population of 791 million.”

Although the future can’t be accurately predicted from the past, I’d imagine that there will be several events in Africa that will trim those numbers quite a bit. However, it’s still a worrisome idea that there might be 3 billion people wanting to flee their homelands.

I suppose the elevation of women and the debasement of men has absolutely nothing g to do with low fertility. /s

But then this is by design, IMHO.

The population decline is being driven by urbanization and the population density of cities

The population decline has been and is being driven by The Pill. However, the headline beginning Sept./Oct. will be something like, "birth rate rises dramatically." Giving birth to future "Quaranteens."
