'Remarkable' decline in fertility rates

There has been a remarkable global decline in the number of children women are having, say researchers.

Their report found fertility rate falls meant nearly half of countries were now facing a "baby bust" - meaning there are insufficient children to maintain their population size.

The researchers said the findings were a "huge surprise".

And there would be profound consequences for societies with "more grandparents than grandchildren".

    Agreed. I mean, look at how much enrichment is occurring in Eurabia where 80%+ of the immigrants will likely never move off of welfare. I'm sure the great replacement will go down without a hitch.

    OK, Putin troll, I can't speak for the whole of "Urabia" but:

    Here in the UK, immigrants are mostly NOT on benefits, they came here to work and send remittances home
    to their families who build houses back home and then they go back home to the houses - of course this takes
    over 10 years, and some end up settling here. I believe this is quite similar to what happens in most of Europe.

    What happens in the Middle East is that people sponsored by Russia and America bomb the hell out of each other,
    while those on the receiving end run away if they can.

    Your story is based on right wing fake news as found on "social" media.

      Are you trying to say that if Russian and American governments and proxies stopped bombing the Middle East that there would be less refugees seeking shelter in Europe?

    It's easy just to take over suburbs in a western land with the same tactics used in their home countries
    If the native people object call them racists
    Raping white women is easy when white men can't defend them
