Unfortunately, it’s been well-established that breeding has zero relationship to economics, and is instead entirely the result of women preferring to go around getting fucked by strangers instead of becoming wives and mothers.
You can spend infinity money on “programs” and nothing at all will change.
You should have spent that money on hiring rape gangs and some people to do something at abortion clinics.
Greece plans to spend 20 billion euros on economic incentives aimed at halting the country’s population decline, which Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called a “national threat.”
The nation that has been referred to as the “cradle of civilization” now has a fertility rate of 1.3, one of the lowest in Europe, and far below the rate of 2.1 that is needed to maintain the population.
In fact, the country now has twice as many deaths as it has births. Last year, Mitsotakis shared during a demographics conference that Greece recorded one birth for every two deaths in 2022.
On September 30, a demographic plan to incentivize having children, totaling 20 billion euros, was presented to Greece’s government. The money will be spent on tax breaks, day care vouchers as well as the establishment of day care centers in workplaces, and cash benefits rewards for raising children. Families with three or more children will receive greater compensation.
Family and Social Cohesion Minister Sofia Zacharaki said on October 2 that “the ultimate goal” of the plan “is to improve the standard of living.”
She noted that, according to current forecasts, by 2070 the biggest population group will be people over 90 years old.
The country is one of many undergoing different phases of population decline headed toward collapse. Greece’s particularly low birth rate may be further exacerbated by the economic hardships plaguing the country, which in July had the second-highest unemployment rate in the EU.
Demography experts such as data analyst Stephen Shaw, the creator of the documentary “Birthgap,” are skeptical about whether economic incentives can reverse the trend of population decline. He has noted that even the Roman Empire, in its later stages, enacted policies aimed at increasing birth rates, including taxing the childless.
According to Shaw, “No society in history has been known to come out of” the “spiral” of population decline.
In his film “Birthgap,” he has documented how declining birth rates in the U.S. and around the world are being driven by an “explosion” in childlessness as opposed to smaller family sizes.
This trend of childlessness began to crop up in the 1970s. For example, in Japan in 1974, one in 20 women were childless. By 1977, the ratio was 1 in 4, and by 1990, it had reached 1 in 3, a statistic that held in 2020. Shaw has shared that most countries have likewise now become “childless nations,” where one-third or more people will become “childless for life.”
Here’s the thing: fertile young women already have the ability to get unlimited free money if they want to have kids: it’s called marrying an older man with money.
Claiming this is an economic problem when there is literally exactly zero data to back that up beyond women saying that on polls is pathological.
You can have women’s rights or a replacement birthrate. You can’t have both. It’s that simple. As an absolute matter, when given the choice between having a family and running around getting fucked and having a ball, women will choose the latter. They will only consider children when they are in their late 20s and they realize that their ability to run around getting fucked by high value men is running out.
Is Afghanistan a really economically stable country? Where they live in caves?
Because they have a birthrate that is more than double replacement.
Maybe it’s because they don’t have women’s rights, huh?
I always hated the saying “you can’t have your cake and eat it too,” because you can eat a cake if you have it, and what else would you do with it? Go to the hospital and use it to smother some Jew-loving boomer? Despite that stupid saying, however, some things are incompatible with one another, and women’s rights are incompatible with sustaining population levels.
The “economic argument” here is so obviously wrong that it is just incredible that people all over the world keep saying this.
