The fertility rate is falling almost worldwide regardless of differences in income and education levels. Shortly after a low birth rate cycle begins, society's norms change, making more women have fewer children or placing less emphasis on marriage and parenthood. The global replacement rate is about 2.2, but some studies suggest the number of babies is below that. Declining birth rates are a more serious problem than climate change.

Only some governments can still find effective policies that work over the long term. The Japanese goverment implemented parental leave and subsidized child care to reverse the decline in the birth rate. However, something else was needed. The Japanese prime minister has started new programs, including free college for households with over their children or fully paid parental leave. These won't work again. The pork barreling policy is a big mistake, and so are attempts to accept more immigration.

Yes, I do. Even male-dominated societies lose the number of children. A study revealed that abortion laws, contraceptive use, religiosity, and other social welfare don't affect the birth rate. Instead, the prevalence of the internet and urbanization appears to change women's mindset. The main reason why governments want more children is to finance their budget, like pensions and healthcare. Who wants to be born in a society that expects you to be born to pay taxes? We are not the resources of governments. The joy of having children should be more focused on raising birth rates.
