Yet one more reason why people in the US are not having kids.

What’s your excuse, Russia?

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

People in the US are having more kids than people in countries with much more parental benefits. Women rights and access to contraceptives measures and abortion have much more impact.

US birthrate: 1.66 in 2022

Canada birthrate (so people can't call it a cultural difference): 1.33 in 2022

Economic decline and young men dying in a war

Not saying it is for similar reasons, but Russia is, as far as I know, quite comparable to European countries in this regard. They're losing much more young men, so the demographic will be very different in the future but I don't think birth rate is actually that far off and not nearly as dramatic as south-korea's is for example.
