Fewer people get children. This is true for the whole world. Researchers see a big drop. Many countries have a low birth rate. One woman gets only 1,3 children. This is not enough for the population. A woman needs 2,1 children for that. Austria has a rate of 1,30. Many people live in such countries.
The trend starts in 2008. There is a big money crisis then. Young people look at the future with worry. They fear the climate crisis and wars. High costs for a home make trouble too. Many people wait with children. Some people want no children at all. East Asia has a very bad situation.
Politics can try to help. Politics can make good care for children. Men must do more care work. Care work means the raising of children. Money gifts from the state do not help much. People need real trust in the future. Then people want a family again.
