Are We Seeing the Collapse of the Family?
Starting in the 20th century, the fertility rates of the world went crashing down. In just one or two generations nations went from 7 or 8 babies per woman on average to 1 or 2.
In this video we visualize that change, look at differences between regions and predict what the future holds and what that means for the future of the human population. Many factors come into play when fertility rates go down.
Women’s access to education, the labour market and health care. The gender power balance in politics, communities and families. How cultural and religious aspects affect the community as well as the economic opportunities of the individual. To name a few. Fertility rates are, alongside the death rate, the driving factor in the demographic transition and the reason why the population of nations stagnate and eventually fall.

It isn’t just the birth rate we should be concerned about, it is the transfer of family responsibilities to the state. This is most obvious at the beginning of life with state child care and at the end of life with state care homes. Families used to perform these care activities. In addition we have unfunded state pensions which are now becoming a huge burden on the younger generations. It is of course all related to the slowly increasing spread of socialism and we all know that will end in poverty for most of us and untold wealth for the elites.

2.5 children is the normal average isn’t it? Assigned by the experts of course. More dependents = more state payout, so curtail the allowance for too many children? Not forgetting people live longer now so the state debt is even higher.
Nah, actually, it’s all in the big plan.

Looking at my own (Dutch) ancestors, in the 17th century most had 8-12 children of which most died: usually only 1 survived, and I’ll wager many (poor) family lines died out. Children were required to take care of you in your dotage, after a life of back-breaking work left you technically unemployable. This model was likely the case for millenia, and has only chnaged since the 70’s , when women started to participate more fully in universities and the workforce. The pressure on today’s women is enormous: they must contribute to the double-income household, they must have a career (or has any woman recently been able to get away with saying “I’d really like to be a housewife and raise kids”?), and they must delay having kids in order to be able to compete with their (male) peers, plus find a suitable sperm donor and an au pair (coz neither of the dinks->dikoks has time to raise a tiny tot). This societal model has never been attempted, so we are in terra incognita, and here be dragons.
