Does your country's leader encourage your countrymen to have sex?

he’ll be shot in broad daylight with a homemade gun in two weeks time for this

Welcome back, the spirit of Shinzo Abe

Okay real talk why is every single nation having their birth rate drop in 20 years time. What the actual fuck is going on. I'm not even joking, shit has hit the fan so hard and quickly its making my head spin.

What's North Korea's end game? Kim lived abroad, they all know life is better outside, do they just keep North Korea shit as some kind of joke?

microplastics tanking testosterone and sperm levels, these plastic toys will be remembered as fondly as leaded gasoline and asbestos

Broadly speaking, the modern lifestyle—working for a salary, consumption, choices. Especially pronounced for women.

>>212379121
too hard to impress women
rather sit at home and goon/play video games

>>212379121
It's becoming unaffordable to start a family, or have more than 1-2 kids.

>>212379037 (OP)
I thought NK was isolated from the globohomo. How are they having declining birthrates as well?

>>212379121
>Okay real talk why is every single nation having their birth rate drop in 20 years time
Not every country :D

>>212379121
government pensions
people used to shit out babies so someone would take care of them when they got old
now it's not a requirement anymore

>>212379279
Which is why only the richest countries have kids.

>>212379214
So no country is safe? We're all destined to be infertile?

>>212379314
>Born to breed
>Forced to fap

>>212379303
Religious schizos don't count

>>212379381
>Religious schizos don't count
Seculars are also above replacement rate THOUGH
And that's not even counting the conservatives and orthodox

>>212379313
"Richest" countries are by far the most expensive countries to have kids

I want 10 kids but I have no monies

>>212379121
North Korea has different reason than other countries do.
they are simply starving.

How can NK of all places not mandate higher fertility? Do they have birth control in NK? How could people just not have kids unless there is a condom/IUD/pill and abortion in the way?

>>212379121
There are too many people.

>>212379157
He lives far better than the average firstie, I dont think he cares about welfare of north koreans

>>212379422
True true so true subsaharan Africa has a lot more resources to have kids, and the richest families are always the ones who have lots of kids :^)

>>212379417
Doesnt matter your population will still fall drastically in the upcoming decades and you know why

>>212379037 (OP)
>Read news story about Palestine
>"Mohamed lost his entire family including his wife and 9 kids..."
>Think about how people talk of Gaza being an absolute hellhole before this and yet they're pumping out nearly double digit kids
Very odd things going on out there, I guess North Korea isn't THAT bad relatively speaking since they're not in "absolute shithole must have kids to survive" territory

>>212379417
Do you guys actually love kids or is it just a survival mechanism thing

>>212379531
Unaffordable housing is a big roadblock to a lot of people trying to get married and start families. I don't know why you're so opposed to that idea.

>>212379121
Inflation of currency supply
Women's rights
Contraceptives

>>212379625
Because it's never affordable. I've seen "affordable" housing projects being built all over my small town only for them to charge 2k/month. They never end up being affordable. It's a scam.

>>212379531
Also it's not like I said it's the only factor. Sure, general intelligence of parents and societal attitudes are also big factors, but everything is becoming unaffordable, and poor economical environment for raising a family is usually the top factor when (first world) people are surveyed why they don't have children

>>212379625
Because it has nothing to do with being poor or rich.

>>212379583
Sure thing chud, if anything like what you're implying will happen we will glass the perpatrators and everything around them
>>212379609
There's a heavy social pressure to have children here even in secular families and because this country is small extended families are very close to one another which helps raising the children. you also get tax writeoffs depending on how many kids you have.
Also it's deep rooted in jewish tradition to have many kids, its one of its key tenets

>>212379776
never say never

Everyone is citing things that don't apply to NK. NK is actually a great case study because they're a bizarre closed off outlier society and yet they're still getting hit with the same low fertility affliction.

>Family friends daughter got pregnant at 17
>Got a council flat so she lives rent free while collecting cash from the government
>Pumped out another kid for more cash
>Other family friend (of a friend really) has two kids from two dads, one disappeared somewhere shortly after finding out she was pregnant
>Basically supported by her older sister because her parents seethe over what a slag she is
Such is the working class life

>>212379625
For me its not being able to find a wife

>>212379037 (OP)
>p-prease have kids so we can send them fight ovelseas!

>>212379625
Housing is not unaffordable
Just get a loan
Your grandparents had no problem with high interest rates

>>212379897
free stuff for mothers is just another way to decimate people.

>>212380010
These places are dumps too desu, leads to the kids growing up with scumbags which eventually turns them into scum as well

>>212379121
I read somewhere a theory that villages always have had high birthrates and cities have always had negative birthrates acting as a population sink from the villages. And since 90% of the population now lives in cities you can guess why everything has a negative birthrate. Even Africa is quickly nearing below replacement levels as the continue to urbanize.
