This came out during the last term. Did Amerikkka do anything about this when the “lesser evil” was in charge? Nope. And now we can just stop counting so nothing will ever be done.

They want America to have more babies. Is this their moment?

There are discussions across the political spectrum about birth rate decline and what it means for the economy.

One response to this decline is a cause that's been taken up by the right, and it has a name – Pronatalism. Many of its advocates met up recently in Austin, Texas, at "Natal Con."

SOUTH KOREA
Birthrate Rises for First Time in 9 Years—But Will It Last?

2024 saw a 3.6% rise in births, yet the fertility rate remains at a record low (0.75).

Experts say post-pandemic weddings & international marriages drove the spike, not long-term policy success.

High costs, gender roles & career fears still deter parenthood.

My wife and I are #childfree and we took our nieces in for 2 days 1 night to spend time with them.

We had fun, but wow! The house was a mess and it was exhausting. They are 8 and 13 and we love them very much. But it reinforces our decision to be #childfree.

It’s so much work to raise a child, I don’t understand how anyone can do it with both parents working.

Starting in April, Tokyo is introducing a 4-day workweek (maintaining monthly hour requirements) for its government employees to improve #WorkLifeBalance and boost #BirthRate.
