The future of humanity is in a serious crisis

New 2024/2025 fertility estimates show major economies are far below the 2.1 replacement level: • South Korea: 0.72 (Critical) • China: 1.00 (Critical) • Taiwan: 1.11 (Critical) • Poland: 1.10 (Critical) • Spain: 1.19 (Critical) • Japan: 1.20 (Critical) • Italy: 1.21 (Critical) • Germany: 1.35 (Severe) • Russia: 1.37 (Severe) • UK: 1.49 (Warning) • US: 1.62 (Warning) This isn’t a distant problem. We are heading toward: Population collapse Exploding elderly dependency Shrinking workforces Broken pension systems Empty cities Governments must prioritize policies to raise fertility: childcare support, housing reform, financial incentives, and cultural shifts This is not optional. This is existential

Birth rates collapse when the cost (economic, psychological, social) of raising a life grows faster than the value society returns to families. People aren’t rejecting children, they’re responding rationally to an incoherent system. You can’t ask for population growth while: • housing is scarce and unstable • time is fragmented and overworked • childcare is expensive and informal • careers punish discontinuity • the future feels uncertain or extractive Fertility isn’t fixed by slogans or incentives alone. It recovers when life itself becomes viable again. Societies that restore proportionality between effort, security, time, and meaning will stabilize. Those that don’t will keep managing decline instead of reversing it. This is existential, but not unsolvable. It’s structural.
