Lats (314 ppm)<p>We get this stuff about declining birth rates regularly. Australia and the developed world have all got declining birth rates driven by educating women, high cost of living, difficulty in buying a home etc. We are, and have been for decades, dependent on migration to expand our population so that economic growth occurs. </p><p>A bit weird that the declining birth rate is a threat to continuous growth. Does that mean that capitalism which has demanded 2 incomes to fund a home, that stresses employees to the max has created the seeds of its own destruction? Maybe we need a different socioeconomic model.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/migration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>migration</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/birthrate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birthrate</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sbs</span></a><br><a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/from-economy-to-health-what-lower-birth-rates-could-mean-for-australias-future/t1wbdnzux" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sbs.com.au/news/article/from-e</span><span class="invisible">conomy-to-health-what-lower-birth-rates-could-mean-for-australias-future/t1wbdnzux</span></a></p>
