Feels like every country is screaming at everyone to have babies. Not for them to grow up and have great lives, but for those governments to have, works, soldiers, tax payers, and servents, as just cog in a machine. Maybe population collapse is the medicine we need so we understand what's truly important.
Exactly why Republicans in the U.S. are even more against abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. Some of them are even whispering about restricting birth control access. It's not "sanctity of life" they preach, they're just using Christianity and their so called "moral high ground" to really control women to birth more workers, consumers, and soldiers. Look at the lawsuit Idaho, Missouri, and Kansas GOP Attorney Generals recently filed. They're mad that lower teen pregnancies (because of abortion access to online mifepristone) are resulting in population loss, "diminishment of political representation and loss of federal funds.” They don't care about human life because if they did, they'd actually care about what happens AFTER that baby is born and the health and well-being of the mothers that carry and deliver these babies.

well there are always some fanatics. Imagine Magda Goebbels (probably the world greatest mom) the wife of Nazi Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels. She had six children with him (plus one from an earlier marriage). After Hitler killed himself she killed her six children and then ended her own life. So lets say no SANE person is planning a family during war.
@@Dah42 With Russia tho, I feel like the situation might be slightly different. From what I know, one of Russia's most used tactics in war is to always overwhelm the opposing side with human fodder, which has led them to having jaw-breaking casualties compared to other countries fighting the same wars (Ex: WW1 +2). If I were Russian, saw this, and knew that the country would always be embroiled in new wars every generation, I'd not have kids in Russia.
Putin has made sure to not send “Rus” men. He sends muslims and other ethnicities. I have always believed he invaded Ukraine to absorb the Kieven Rus, the original “Russian”. The war was to solve two issues: absorb the Rus population from Ukraine and send other ethnicities to the front to in effect cleanse Russia of the non-Rus population.

What do you think demographics is for? Either to benefit the nation in some ways, like for the economy or wars. No one cares about demographics just for the sake of it
It actually has. Russia got several millions of "right", slavic, population on occupied territories. Slaves is extremely important, because inside russia, the birth rate is much higher in non-russian areas, then in russian. But those are mostly old people.
That’s how things work in all countries , regardless of how “feminist” they claim to be. In the past, women weren’t sent to war because it was argued that they had to stay home taking care of the kids .. Such argument doesn’t hold water anymore , since most nations are aborting their kiddos , as a result , the birth rates in most nations are extremely low .

I may be immoral in saying this but wouldn’t Eastern Europe and Ukraine be in a much more safe and peaceful situation if Russia’s population became as small as possible ?
of course. The smaller russia is (economically, demographically, geographically), the better for the world. Unfortunately the demographic situation is dire in almost all the developed world, and particularly so in Ukraine :(
Eastern Europe , and pretty much most countries in the world (except African nations are suffering as a result of extremely low birth rates, since most kids are aborted .. So Russia is not the only one affected by this situation.. That’s why I find it odd when people say that abortion is “good” because “the world is overpopulated”.
It's questionable if it's irrelevant. Haven't you heard what preceded the invasion? Or don't you want to know? And where and for what reasons have British soldiers been deployed over the last decade or two? Let me know, thanks!
They’re concerned because that’s meat for the grinder. When your entire military success is based on throwing people at the enemy, and you run out of fodder, you’ve lost.
"The Russian government is concerned about the catastrophic decline in the birth rate in Russia." Sounds like: "Jackals and hyenas are concerned that antelopes do not want to reproduce and be eaten."
Worldwide problem -- nobody will have families if cannot afford property, food costs too much, college expensive and obsolete, etc. Ruling classes siphoning off national wealth at expense of middle class. Middle class is engine of growing economies. Econ 101 seems to be unfashionable these days.
Well, and in Russia’s case, the men who would be raising children are all being sent off to war n Ukraine. It’s not a mystery why their birth rate would be low right now.
Low birth rate is NOT a worldwide problem.. Low birth rate is ONLY seen in countries with feminism. Because feminism destroys family, society and country. But, in the patriarchal countries of Africa, the Population is increasing with average TFR of 4.2 child birth per woman. Because these countries don't have feminism. A total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.1 is the replacement-level fertility, which is the average number of children a woman needs to have to replace her generation, and maintain the same population in that country. So, replacement level TFR is 2.1.. Most feminist countries have TFR below 1.5, .... South Korea's TFR in 2024 is 0.68 ... While the population is decreasing in all the feminist countries, the population is increasing in the patriarchal countries of Africa. Soon the population of feminist countries with TFR below 2.1 will disappear, and the native population in feminist countries will be replaced by migrants from the patriarchal African countries with TFR of 4.2..
Continents ...Total fertility rate in 2024 (births/woman) 1 Africa 4.2 2 Oceania 2.1 3 Asia 1.9 4 Americas 1.8 5 Europe 1.5 Replacement level TFR is 2.1.. So, with average TFR of 4.2, the population is increasing in the patriarchal countries of Africa. Soon the native population of all feminist countries in the world with TFR below 2.1 will disappear, and the native population in feminist countries will be replaced by migrants from the patriarchal African countries with TFR of 4.2..

If the Russian leaders were not criminals and had a freindly relationship with Europe they would be suppying the EU with resources and the people of Russia would be very prosperous. Instead they have a constant warlike attitude and the invasion of Ukrain has cost it a million people and it has lost its main market.
Ресурсов на планете становиться все меньше и решили ограбить Россию очередной раз или сократит население земли, они об этом откровенно говорят , а на Украину их плевать
Very true. Russia would be a very prosperous country if it chose to work with Europe. However, I think Putin felt like a nobody amongst Western leaders, whereas he's reveared like a king in his own country and thinks he's got world respect.
700K dead would mean easily 2 Million or more wounded and injured beyond service. The Russian Military only has 1.15 Million active and combat ready soldiers so that could easily mean the absolute collapse of the Russian Military and it enite morale. So is Russia is fielding zombies at this point?
One of the big problems of Russia is the catastrophic state of the rural population..many go to urban centres where housing is expensive and cramped..not an environment to start a family..Russia is caught in a downward spiral...becoming even more insignificant as a power
True, in rural Russia there's widespread poverty. Even Russia soldiers in Ukraine were shocked how rural Ukrainians lived much better than them. Running water, indoor plumbing, heating, nice well built homes etc. But the Russian elites the oligarchs will go out and buy a luxury yacht worth a billion dollars. With that money you could provide utilities to thousands of villages in Russia. It's Russia's greedy dumb leaders that are responsible.
You're explaining why russia might benefit from demographic decline, they are a natural resource economy. They don't need endless hordes of people to consume goods.
I keep asking myself why the ones at the top are so concerned about birth rates declining… like it’s their main concern… is it just this - less peasants to work or is it more or different than just that?
Before all the Krembots start chipping in saying "Yeah well Britain and Germany are also in big trouble, so there" just remember GDP per capita in Russia is barely $14,000. This is what you get with Putin and negligible service/hospitality/tourism sectors.
GDP per capita PPP is the correct wayto look at things, not Nominal GDP per capita. UK - 62K, GERMANY - 70K, RUSSIA 47 K. Its definately not so far behind
@@AlphamanKing It's only the correct way of looking at it if you're unable to leave your own country. So I suppose that does make sense for the Russians.
All of their young and middle aged men are dying fighting in a pointless invasion of a country that is not theirs. It’s shameful and an utter waste of life.
As a Russian woman of 23 y.o. I'm not gonna give birth to children in this country. For what? For them to be unhappy here as I'm? I'd want my children to be safe and happy. My faith in humanity (especially in Russia) is lost.
In Russia the death rate is 4000 a day and third of that from the war in Ukraine all the prisons in Russia are empty so they closing them down . Russia has increased its population by 4.5 million people mostly old , mothers with children and the occupied lands are bombed out cities not fit to live in an increase in population makes ordinary Russians poorer.
And how many young adults left as a result of the war in Ukraine? I’ve heard close to a million. Hard to imagine how they make up for the harm Putin had and his oligarch enablers has done to that nation.
"The Russian government is concerned about the catastrophic decline in the birth rate in Russia." Sounds like: "Jackals and hyenas are concerned that antelopes do not want to reproduce and be eaten."
It's not just Russia. In all of Europe. Possibly do not need to worry about climate change coming in about 100 years. That's 3 generation, during that time European race would be 20-25% of what it is now.
Population decline is good for planet earth. It is overburdened by population and being destroyed due to over exploitation of natural resources. GDP is a bad indicator to measure progress or well being of human. What matters is GDP per capita on price parity basis and equitable distribution for well being of population. At present we see few super rich people, vast poor people and struggling middle class in most of the countries.
Counties can’t figure out how they will have people pay taxes in future due to ALL developed countries falling decline of population…growing older population to be supported as well. First they hv tried (under political guise to trick everyone) to push mass immigration from poor countries and blend the social differences, which has totally failed as seen by results of social chaos and loss of their own national identity. Now trying to ban immigration ,but too late to stop changes. Perhaps leaders should try sitting down with think tank and others to attempt to solve this tax & worker problem in a different way!! Our World is overpopulated and can’t possibly sustain more human population… get ready to change the status quo to the long term benefit of our people AND planet. We’re suppose to have vast resource of intelligence… Use it!
Retirement age should be increased. People should be prepared to work full time or part time as long as they can. Only very old physically disabled people should qualify for social security. Many of these people may not need any social security as they may have savings to sustain them. Social security may be needed by unemployed people. It is bad economic policies that leads to unemployment, lack of saving when people are earning to sustain them and this needs to be corrected. Why immigrants are needed, if population is decreasing let economic activities also decrease to sustainable levels. GDP will decrease but why it needs to increase when population is going down.
You're delusional thinking retiring will be an option even if you're a crippled old person. Just look at developing countries where old people work till they die or physically can't move. There won't be any pension money waiting for them that they themselves haven't saved up which most people haven't. This then results in a further class divide just like in those developing countries where the rich can afford to retire while the rest of us have to struggle. That is not to mention the availability of health care....
If people don't save money, when they could, why blame the Government. In India, if you have worked in government job, you get lifelong pension after retirement. If you work in organized sector, you get gratuity (15 days of last drawn salary for number of years worked) plus provident fund, which is your mandatory contribution plus employers contribution and interest accumulated. This can keep you going for rest of your life. It is only people in unorganized sectors, who do not have any such privilege. I think only such people need to be provided with old age pension from government funds.
This is easy to debunk, the faster the decline of your population the faster you build coal power plants. Countries in demographic decline are not investing in green infrastructure, green tech is not a luxury that declinning populations can endure.
No The population decline in Russia can be attributed to four significant periods. First, during Operation Barbarossa, the USSR lost approximately 24 million people, including a substantial number of men. While the population did experience some recovery, it never fully rebounded to its previous levels. The second major factor was the decline that began in 1988, just before the collapse of the Soviet Union. This period marked the beginning of a demographic downturn that would only worsen with the eventual disintegration of the USSR, which resulted in a loss of around 25 million people, including millions of men who vanished from the population. During this time, no one was having children, and the fertility rate plummeted to around 1.6-one of the lowest in the entire world. Following the Soviet collapse, birth rates continued to decline, and by the time Vladimir Putin came to power, the demographic situation was already dire. Currently, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine represents the fourth significant demographic challenge. Yes, the war has certainly contributed to the population decline, but it is important to note that Putin is not solely to blame for this crisis. The underlying issues have deep historical roots, and the demographic decline was inevitable, whether Moscow liked it or not.
Becoming a parent makes you vulnerable. I can't recommend it in this day and age. Let the war mongers themselves produce new soldiers and let oligarchs, shareholders and CEO's produce their own workers. Let's stop catering them.
@ it’s not though is it. If they’ve been able to capture a million people then it’s a massive net gain as even worse case estimates put the Russian losses in the 100 - 200 thousand range.
The worst estimates are 2 to 3x that number and you're getting a mostly aging population in rural Ukraine with the entire infrastructure of those regions demolished. That has to be built from scratch while under heavy sanctions. It makes zero economic or demographic sense.
These people aren't really gonna have kids and they're mostly old people as Ukraine also has a demographic issue. Factor in the economic down spiral that this war has resulted in which not only is a financial issue but makes it even more undesirable to have kids, you're really looking at a net loss.
And it's not even a bad thing. We have the technology to feed and house people with less manpower spent than ever before. Less people means less competition for resources and less strain on the environment. The question is not "can we have an economy with fewer young people" but "what does the transition from constant population growth to a smaller population mean, and where does that number stabilize?" It's a harder question to answer than just "can we bully people into having kids", though. But I think the country that answers the question is the one that does best moving forward
Even if that's the case, a slower decline will be much easier to manage than a fast one. Therefore, immigration and increased birthrates are still desirable.
The projection is a 15% decrease in Russian population by 2100. In comparison, China faces a 50% decrease by 2100. Germany also faces a 15% decline by 2100, Italy, a 40% decline. To check, search "population pyramid" of your preferred country.
'War' and winning more land thereby is easier to think about and do, for the males at the top. Asking WOMEN of child bearing age: 'What' can we do to support, encourage, and enrich your life? Is too difficult. These men, from the top down, would have to change. Oh no 😮
economy in my country has been declining badly for many years now and this also caused polulation and child birth declines. so russia is not alone, ofcourse its not helping that russia have lost so many young men in pointless wars. but the unknown of the future may scare ppl, life is so expensive, its hard even to take care of one person ,so for low income families its even worse.
I was reading the other day on Al Jazeera, the Russian death toll is around 654,000, with 70,000 dead in volunteers alone. Combine that with the millions that have left the country, and the millions who will leave and you have a sizeable population decline. mind you we have around six billion too many people on the planet. so perhaps it's fate.
That makes no sense though since the Russian Military in its entirely only has 1.15 Million active and combat ready soldiers. 654K losses would mean the entire Russian Military has been defeated alongside its Navy and Air Force. That would also constitute a full absolute collapse of its Government since the Armed Forces has suffered apocaplytic losses.
I agree with the overcrowded feel. I was disgusted in Walmart this evening. It's a damn foreign slum in there, completely overrun. I want things back to less people and no foreigners. Many are very rude & invasive. I don't have children and I think I'm the one who should be getting the tax incentives!!!!! I'm helping the planet.
Its a developed world issue. The asset owners take every penny of a workers wage with permanent price rises. It makes it unaffordable for native citizens to have enough children.
This is true, however every country will become developed in time. There are only few truly undeveloped countries in africa. And they lead the world in birthrate. Seeing as every country will eventually develop that means this is a problem that should be addressed. If we dont, at best we would only lose benefits like pensions etc along with higher taxes. At worst economic collapse as the country loses its workforce rapidly until equillibrium.
You can say this about the world.The world is becoming a much worst place. The important thing to appreciate is how rapidly IQ scores are dropping. After age 50 you get a serious cognitive decline, we're losing Brilliant minds far faster than the population itself is actually shrinking. High IQ people's urbanize rather quickly. This means smart people have very low birth rates. This means the world is getting dumber far far faster than most people can imagine. The rural populations have IQ's that are incredibly low. It's easy to imagine we are living in a world of peak doctors, when our medical needs are relatively low.
I don't see any problem in declining population maybe more countries could follow Russia. Just watched a film on plastic pollution in Indonesia and Jakarta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world at 70 million, the same population as UK. Every country has increasing population whether is due to migration from increasing third world populations or declining Western population due to affluence and rising debt and longer life expectancy means most women have to work now. They talk about saving the planet! from global warming! human rights! pollution! and obsession with preserving human life. But they won't talk about the real elephant in the room, world overpopulation by humans. No animal would be allowed to increase without nature controlling its numbers why should humans be any different, the problem "IS HUMANS!!". And as long as population keeps increasing wars and pestilence will preval whether it with or without weapons, the new weapon in the west is Empathy where you can invade a country by putting on a sad face and claiming asylum and they will refuse to send you back to where you came from, one thing I do know the chaos is not going to go away.
The refurbishment of a company of T-72 tanks costs about as much as building a hospital and 2 schools from scratch. But hey, who needs all that malarkey when "the motherland needs you"😂
so entire regions in Russia are depleted of every male older than 18 who will never retire from the bloodlands of Ukraine and they are worried about population decline? how about asking for an armistice instead and some studs from Africa?
@@Howiex-is8gq Lol how did your comment get published? As a very clever African (of which there are many) the soaring eagle hears not the barking of dogs
I am an African and in Africa not having a child is a disaster for a many women. The husband and his family will tell these unlucky women that they will marry another wife. Then there is the issue of gender. A boy is revered in Africa and I'd you keep having daughters, it becomes a problem. So in Africa the fertility rates are so high and culture and society pressures will keep it that way. 6:51
Well, first thing to do is to tell women that they can be independent on their own and basically men are a huge hassle and not worth it... and men aren't as smart as they profess to be.
That's pretty similar to attitudes in, for example, China until a few decades ago and India until very recently, and yet they are also expecting demographic issues (China sooner than India of course). That is likely the future of Subsaharan Africa as well, assuming development increases (so, dependent on country -- Zambia will likely decrease faster than CAR).
African societies main problem is the lack of education. They blame infertility on women whereas most infertility issue stems from the man. Women don’t produce eggs because the eggs are already made, men produce sperm. Thus, the health of a man’s sperm is largely dependent on everything he consumes and his overall health.
Ironic that the concern over the once dreaded "population bomb" is now reversed into a fear about what population decline could mean for capitalism and national security in many societies. A perfect storm of global environmental collapse, global political chaos and contemporary attitudes of abject self-interest make avoiding children an increasingly reasonable decision. Russia is not alone with this issue.
Not worried. The world population experienced an uncontrolled expansion. It's normal to expect an uncontrolled contraction. If people want stability they can not rely on half-baked measures. That's why a colony on Mars would be so important. We should set population limits on Earth based on given criteria. Rather than forcing people to have unwanted babies or look after excess numbers of old age pensioners, we send surplus people to the Mars colony.
I think governments worried about this are missing a huge piece of the puzzle. Yes, financial help is good, but people are worried about TIME. If the state provided 24/7 nannies or nurseries, that would make a huge difference.
In Russia it's very very cheap nurseries (10 hours every working day). If you have 3+ children you have no problem with it, because you have some preferences
Russian health care is better than most countries of the world. And almost free (including high tech surgeries like cardio or neuro ones). Russia produces and exports many modern drugs also.
Возможно, но у нас была низкая рождаемость и до войны тоже. И да, пропаганда рождаемости была даже до войны, льготы, богусы, выплаты, помощь, и очень много всякого бреда. Мы просто не хотим детей
The problem for Putin is that Russia will be outbred by other countries and therefore be a declining power. In turn it may then be subsumed by another culture - the end of the 'Russkiy Mir'.
well, we're almost three years in. March 2025 marks three years of war. Although the Putin regime has actually been waging war on Ukraine for well over a decade or more, really.
Russis has more women of age over 40 than man. Look at the demographic pyramid. China has more men below age of 45..50. So... Technically you're offering chinese man age of 30 marry russian woman age 50. Okay)
Maybe the lower population is a good thing, especially since the larger population tends to abuse the environment to meet its stabilization requirement demands. Never in history have 1st world countries had to worry about clean water for survival. Once the costs of foods decline to a livable amount, we still will have the issue of proper levels of clean water to sustain ourselves, especially when we refuse to reduce, properly dispose of, remove all together known yet legal (in percentages) pollutants, synthetic materials (leading to microplastics), etc. We are ruining our standing on the first mandate God gave us. We are supposed to rule and care of the gift (the earth) he gave us.
US, Russia, and Europe, all of it is going down the hole. There's no replacement or fertility rate, some are nearing the apocalpytic levels of South Korea and Japan. No one is having kids and all of there populations are shrinking. Europe and North America might not have that long within a few generations down the line. Did we just reach the apex of Human world population number?
geelangfordo3272 Economic isolation... The population of the Baltic states has decreased by about 30% since 1991. Nothing like this has been observed in Russia (-3%). In Ukraine, by the way, the population has decreased by 20% before 2022. Why? People leave to work and do not return. Residents of the Baltic states are EU citizens, which increases the outflow of population. The same situation is in Bulgaria (-30%) and Romania (-17%).
Ironic - Killing so many young men in a pointless war
It has always been the same in Russia and USSR.
Why didn’t you say that in George w bush illegal war in Iraq that killed 1 million people

Worried about demographics but threatening nuclear war... makes sense for Putin, I suppose.

What do you think demographics is for? Either to benefit the nation in some ways, like for the economy or wars. No one cares about demographics just for the sake of it
Hmmm, I wonder if waging a pointless war has anything to do with it? 🤔
Russian leadership doesn't think it's pointless. Evidently the people do not as well.
It actually has. Russia got several millions of "right", slavic, population on occupied territories. Slaves is extremely important, because inside russia, the birth rate is much higher in non-russian areas, then in russian. But those are mostly old people.

That’s how things work in all countries , regardless of how “feminist” they claim to be. In the past, women weren’t sent to war because it was argued that they had to stay home taking care of the kids .. Such argument doesn’t hold water anymore , since most nations are aborting their kiddos , as a result , the birth rates in most nations are extremely low .

Worldwide problem -- nobody will have families if cannot afford property, food costs too much, college expensive and obsolete, etc. Ruling classes siphoning off national wealth at expense of middle class. Middle class is engine of growing economies. Econ 101 seems to be unfashionable these days.
Well, and in Russia’s case, the men who would be raising children are all being sent off to war n Ukraine. It’s not a mystery why their birth rate would be low right now.
Low birth rate is NOT a worldwide problem.. Low birth rate is ONLY seen in countries with feminism. Because feminism destroys family, society and country. But, in the patriarchal countries of Africa, the Population is increasing with average TFR of 4.2 child birth per woman. Because these countries don't have feminism. A total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.1 is the replacement-level fertility, which is the average number of children a woman needs to have to replace her generation, and maintain the same population in that country. So, replacement level TFR is 2.1.. Most feminist countries have TFR below 1.5, .... South Korea's TFR in 2024 is 0.68 ... While the population is decreasing in all the feminist countries, the population is increasing in the patriarchal countries of Africa. Soon the population of feminist countries with TFR below 2.1 will disappear, and the native population in feminist countries will be replaced by migrants from the patriarchal African countries with TFR of 4.2..

So, with average TFR of 4.2, the population is increasing in the patriarchal countries of Africa. Soon the native population of all feminist countries in the world with TFR below 2.1 will disappear, and the native population in feminist countries will be replaced by migrants from the patriarchal African countries with TFR of 4.2..

Very true. Russia would be a very prosperous country if it chose to work with Europe. However, I think Putin felt like a nobody amongst Western leaders, whereas he's reveared like a king in his own country and thinks he's got world respect.
No more cheap russian resources for EU! The base of european prosperity is close
700k casualty does not help.
700K dead would mean easily 2 Million or more wounded and injured beyond service.
The Russian Military only has 1.15 Million active and combat ready soldiers so that could easily mean the absolute collapse of the Russian Military and it enite morale.
So is Russia is fielding zombies at this point?
The best Russia can do to the world is to continue this demographic trend.
Fully agreed!
Looks like they are working on.
💯
One of the big problems of Russia is the catastrophic state of the rural population..many go to urban centres where housing is expensive and cramped..not an environment to start a family..Russia is caught in a downward spiral...becoming even more insignificant as a power
True, in rural Russia there's widespread poverty. Even Russia soldiers in Ukraine were shocked how rural Ukrainians lived much better than them. Running water, indoor plumbing, heating, nice well built homes etc.
But the Russian elites the oligarchs will go out and buy a luxury yacht worth a billion dollars. With that money you could provide utilities to thousands of villages in Russia. It's Russia's greedy dumb leaders that are responsible.
That's right.
You're explaining why russia might benefit from demographic decline, they are a natural resource economy. They don't need endless hordes of people to consume goods.
Why? The same reason the US is worried. Fewer people means higher wages. No bottomless pool of desperate peasants willing to work for half a wage.
I keep asking myself why the ones at the top are so concerned about birth rates declining… like it’s their main concern… is it just this - less peasants to work or is it more or different than just that?
There is a huge pool of first generation immigrants willing to work for low wages. The generations after that are not so accommodating.
Fewer people does not mean higher wages in a Dictatorship. Putin is only good at repression and theft.
Before all the Krembots start chipping in saying "Yeah well Britain and Germany are also in big trouble, so there" just remember GDP per capita in Russia is barely $14,000. This is what you get with Putin and negligible service/hospitality/tourism sectors.
The baltics and Finland have huge demographic problems, even worst than Russia and barely a number of migrants as near
Yeah not dazzled
Gaza has a birthrate of over 4 per woman. Explain that away with economics and security.

In Russia the death rate is 4000 a day and third of that from the war in Ukraine all the prisons in Russia are empty so they closing them down . Russia has increased its population by 4.5 million people mostly old , mothers with children and the occupied lands are bombed out cities not fit to live in an increase in population makes ordinary Russians poorer.
Russia is a 3rd world country.
And how many young adults left as a result of the war in Ukraine? I’ve heard close to a million. Hard to imagine how they make up for the harm Putin had and his oligarch enablers has done to that nation.
"The Russian government is concerned about the catastrophic decline in the birth rate in Russia." Sounds like: "Jackals and hyenas are concerned that antelopes do not want to reproduce and be eaten."
It's not just Russia. In all of Europe. Possibly do not need to worry about climate change coming in about 100 years. That's 3 generation, during that time European race would be 20-25% of what it is now.
Population decline is good for planet earth. It is overburdened by population and being destroyed due to over exploitation of natural resources. GDP is a bad indicator to measure progress or well being of human. What matters is GDP per capita on price parity basis and equitable distribution for well being of population. At present we see few super rich people, vast poor people and struggling middle class in most of the countries.
Counties can’t figure out how they will have people pay taxes in future due to ALL developed countries falling decline of population…growing older population to be supported as well. First they hv tried (under political guise to trick everyone) to push mass immigration from poor countries and blend the social differences, which has totally failed as seen by results of social chaos and loss of their own national identity. Now trying to ban immigration ,but too late to stop changes. Perhaps leaders should try sitting down with think tank and others to attempt to solve this tax & worker problem in a different way!! Our World is overpopulated and can’t possibly sustain more human population… get ready to change the status quo to the long term benefit of our people AND planet. We’re suppose to have vast resource of intelligence… Use it!
Retirement age should be increased. People should be prepared to work full time or part time as long as they can. Only very old physically disabled people should qualify for social security. Many of these people may not need any social security as they may have savings to sustain them. Social security may be needed by unemployed people. It is bad economic policies that leads to unemployment, lack of saving when people are earning to sustain them and this needs to be corrected. Why immigrants are needed, if population is decreasing let economic activities also decrease to sustainable levels. GDP will decrease but why it needs to increase when population is going down.
You're delusional thinking retiring will be an option even if you're a crippled old person. Just look at developing countries where old people work till they die or physically can't move.
There won't be any pension money waiting for them that they themselves haven't saved up which most people haven't.
This then results in a further class divide just like in those developing countries where the rich can afford to retire while the rest of us have to struggle. That is not to mention the availability of health care....
If people don't save money, when they could, why blame the Government. In India, if you have worked in government job, you get lifelong pension after retirement. If you work in organized sector, you get gratuity (15 days of last drawn salary for number of years worked) plus provident fund, which is your mandatory contribution plus employers contribution and interest accumulated. This can keep you going for rest of your life. It is only people in unorganized sectors, who do not have any such privilege. I think only such people need to be provided with old age pension from government funds.
Population decline is not good for anyone.
Populationdecline: good for the planet
This is easy to debunk, the faster the decline of your population the faster you build coal power plants. Countries in demographic decline are not investing in green infrastructure, green tech is not a luxury that declinning populations can endure.
The only blame should be placed on Vladimir Putin. How many young men are now dead?
No
The population decline in Russia can be attributed to four significant periods. First, during Operation Barbarossa, the USSR lost approximately 24 million people, including a substantial number of men. While the population did experience some recovery, it never fully rebounded to its previous levels.
The second major factor was the decline that began in 1988, just before the collapse of the Soviet Union. This period marked the beginning of a demographic downturn that would only worsen with the eventual disintegration of the USSR, which resulted in a loss of around 25 million people, including millions of men who vanished from the population. During this time, no one was having children, and the fertility rate plummeted to around 1.6-one of the lowest in the entire world.
Following the Soviet collapse, birth rates continued to decline, and by the time Vladimir Putin came to power, the demographic situation was already dire.
Currently, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine represents the fourth significant demographic challenge. Yes, the war has certainly contributed to the population decline, but it is important to note that Putin is not solely to blame for this crisis. The underlying issues have deep historical roots, and the demographic decline was inevitable, whether Moscow liked it or not.
Becoming a parent makes you vulnerable. I can't recommend it in this day and age.
Let the war mongers themselves produce new soldiers and let oligarchs, shareholders and CEO's produce their own workers. Let's stop catering them.
No babies and probably a lot of young crippled men coming back from the war. Can’t be good for any country.
I had never considered population increase through war territory acquisition.
When its scorched earth like Ukraine, its a net loss
They're killing the people they supposedly want to acquire though? It's a dumb idea. From a dumb government.
@ it’s not though is it. If they’ve been able to capture a million people then it’s a massive net gain as even worse case estimates put the Russian losses in the 100 - 200 thousand range.
The worst estimates are 2 to 3x that number and you're getting a mostly aging population in rural Ukraine with the entire infrastructure of those regions demolished. That has to be built from scratch while under heavy sanctions. It makes zero economic or demographic sense.
These people aren't really gonna have kids and they're mostly old people as Ukraine also has a demographic issue. Factor in the economic down spiral that this war has resulted in which not only is a financial issue but makes it even more undesirable to have kids, you're really looking at a net loss.
The whole world really needs to start planning for a much lower population future. Stop thinking immigration is the long term solution.
The non-bolshevik west is free to put an end to poverty. And fertility will increase again.
And it's not even a bad thing. We have the technology to feed and house people with less manpower spent than ever before. Less people means less competition for resources and less strain on the environment. The question is not "can we have an economy with fewer young people" but "what does the transition from constant population growth to a smaller population mean, and where does that number stabilize?"
It's a harder question to answer than just "can we bully people into having kids", though. But I think the country that answers the question is the one that does best moving forward
Even if that's the case, a slower decline will be much easier to manage than a fast one. Therefore, immigration and increased birthrates are still desirable.
You mean no more rush hour four hour traffic jams????????. That's terrible
Immigration is never a solution. It just creates more freeloaders. Everyone knows that people from thid world countriesLOVE WELFARE.
It could not happen to a nicer nation. Cough cough
The projection is a 15% decrease in Russian population by 2100. In comparison, China faces a 50% decrease by 2100.
Germany also faces a 15% decline by 2100, Italy, a 40% decline. To check, search "population pyramid" of your preferred country.
If Russian government was concerned about their citizens over the past fifty plus years, demographics would be a concern and not an issue
I’m genuinely curious why nobody actually truly wants to be here from this chaos
'War' and winning more land thereby is easier to think about and do, for the males at the top.

Might be a good idea to stop sacrificing all your young men on a pointless war
economy in my country has been declining badly for many years now and this also caused polulation and child birth declines. so russia is not alone, ofcourse its not helping that russia have lost so many young men in pointless wars. but the unknown of the future may scare ppl, life is so expensive, its hard even to take care of one person ,so for low income families its even worse.
And whats your country's name

Trashing a generation of young men in Ukraine is a very strange way of addressing this problem!
I was reading the other day on Al Jazeera, the Russian death toll is around 654,000, with 70,000 dead in volunteers alone. Combine that with the millions that have left the country, and the millions who will leave and you have a sizeable population decline. mind you we have around six billion too many people on the planet. so perhaps it's fate.
once they get rid of Putin and rejoin the human race, they can rebuild and encourage immigration.
That makes no sense though since the Russian Military in its entirely only has 1.15 Million active and combat ready soldiers.
654K losses would mean the entire Russian Military has been defeated alongside its Navy and Air Force.
That would also constitute a full absolute collapse of its Government since the Armed Forces has suffered apocaplytic losses.
I agree with the overcrowded feel. I was disgusted in Walmart this evening. It's a damn foreign slum in there, completely overrun. I want things back to less people and no foreigners. Many are very rude & invasive. I don't have children and I think I'm the one who should be getting the tax incentives!!!!! I'm helping the planet.
That's not the death toll, that's including disabled in combat. The death toll is around 300k.
No, overpopulation is just an issue in a handful of countries. We need more people in the world.
How about stopping the pointless war first?

Its a developed world issue. The asset owners take every penny of a workers wage with permanent price rises. It makes it unaffordable for native citizens to have enough children.
This is true, however every country will become developed in time. There are only few truly undeveloped countries in africa. And they lead the world in birthrate.
Seeing as every country will eventually develop that means this is a problem that should be addressed. If we dont, at best we would only lose benefits like pensions etc along with higher taxes. At worst economic collapse as the country loses its workforce rapidly until equillibrium.
0:45 the country is dying out and the world become a better place
You can say this about the world.The world is becoming a much worst place. The important thing to appreciate is how rapidly IQ scores are dropping. After age 50 you get a serious cognitive decline, we're losing Brilliant minds far faster than the population itself is actually shrinking. High IQ people's urbanize rather quickly. This means smart people have very low birth rates. This means the world is getting dumber far far faster than most people can imagine. The rural populations have IQ's that are incredibly low. It's easy to imagine we are living in a world of peak doctors, when our medical needs are relatively low.
I don't see any problem in declining population maybe more countries could follow Russia.
Just watched a film on plastic pollution in Indonesia and Jakarta is one of the most densely populated countries in the world at 70 million, the same population as UK.
Every country has increasing population whether is due to migration from increasing third world populations or declining Western population due to affluence and rising debt and longer life expectancy means most women have to work now.
They talk about saving the planet! from global warming! human rights! pollution! and obsession with preserving human life.
But they won't talk about the real elephant in the room, world overpopulation by humans. No animal would be allowed to increase without nature controlling its numbers why should humans be any different, the problem "IS HUMANS!!".
And as long as population keeps increasing wars and pestilence will preval whether it with or without weapons, the new weapon in the west is Empathy where you can invade a country by putting on a sad face and claiming asylum and they will refuse to send you back to where you came from, one thing I do know the chaos is not going to go away.

So we will eventually run out of russians? My my, what a shame.
I am an African and in Africa not having a child is a disaster for a many women. The husband and his family will tell these unlucky women that they will marry another wife. Then there is the issue of gender. A boy is revered in Africa and I'd you keep having daughters, it becomes a problem. So in Africa the fertility rates are so high and culture and society pressures will keep it that way. 6:51
Well, first thing to do is to tell women that they can be independent on their own and basically men are a huge hassle and not worth it... and men aren't as smart as they profess to be.
That's pretty similar to attitudes in, for example, China until a few decades ago and India until very recently, and yet they are also expecting demographic issues (China sooner than India of course). That is likely the future of Subsaharan Africa as well, assuming development increases (so, dependent on country -- Zambia will likely decrease faster than CAR).
African societies main problem is the lack of education. They blame infertility on women whereas most infertility issue stems from the man. Women don’t produce eggs because the eggs are already made, men produce sperm. Thus, the health of a man’s sperm is largely dependent on everything he consumes and his overall health.
Ironic that the concern over the once dreaded "population bomb" is now reversed into a fear about what population decline could mean for capitalism and national security in many societies. A perfect storm of global environmental collapse, global political chaos and contemporary attitudes of abject self-interest make avoiding children an increasingly reasonable decision. Russia is not alone with this issue.
I'm not frightened about population decline but I am concerned about demographic changes.
Russia’s population is rapidly declining? Sounds like a beautiful melody for my ears!
Are you from one of the Baltic countries, right? How many people you lost since 1991? How low is your birthrate? 😂
The entire world should be worried about Demographic problems.
Not worried. The world population experienced an uncontrolled expansion. It's normal to expect an uncontrolled contraction. If people want stability they can not rely on half-baked measures. That's why a colony on Mars would be so important. We should set population limits on Earth based on given criteria. Rather than forcing people to have unwanted babies or look after excess numbers of old age pensioners, we send surplus people to the Mars colony.
The entire world right now is worried about quality, not quantity
Countries address underpopulation by doing stuff except address what is really causing it.

The only place with high birth rates is Africa. Seems like the planet is simply over populated and therefore naturally declining.
If you think demographic decline is bad in Russia, you should have a look at what's been going on in Ukraine for the past decade or so.
In the baltics is much worst than in Russia
If you think Ukraine has a population problem you should see how many people are left living in the moon.
The difference between Russia and the rest of eastern europe is the sanctions induced economic isolation compounds the low birth the rate.
geelangfordo3272 Economic isolation... The population of the Baltic states has decreased by about 30% since 1991. Nothing like this has been observed in Russia (-3%). In Ukraine, by the way, the population has decreased by 20% before 2022. Why? People leave to work and do not return. Residents of the Baltic states are EU citizens, which increases the outflow of population. The same situation is in Bulgaria (-30%) and Romania (-17%).
Thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
