In the thick of 2020, when COVID-19 was unearthing vast unemployment and breeding global uncertainty, the U.S. saw a peculiar trend. Instead of the anticipated sharp decline, fertility rates dropped only marginally. Key takeaways from a new study, The COVID-19 baby bump in the United States (Martha J. Bailey,
That Chart does not cover a lot of things and phenomena
A lot of right wing lunatics do talk about whites, especially the creepy nerds who run pronatalist.org
people also talk about population decline in reference to Asia and Latin America whose suffering from mass emigration and collapsing fertility , how people are dying younger and younger now in the western world because of austerity and corporate greed, or how young people don’t have homes because of NIMBYs to the town towns are declining, or because of economic strife
It is, however, a graph of the world population. I see your point though.
Not agreeing with pronatalism but it is interesting comparison in domain names. Pronatalist on it’s cover sounds nice, like ‘prolife’. Who isn’t for life?! And births are life! So, hey we found the solution to the population decline, let’s all start making babies, pronatalism! Meanwhile I can quickly google and see that wow, population isn’t declining, just look at the graph! So, as a visitor to the site who doesn’t know anything about it, “pronatalism” “prolife” and “pro-candy” all sound like nice, safe, easy things to get into. Stop population decline sounds like trying to stop a thing that isn’t happening until you understand that it’s a more nuanced view of population - that decline is happening but on the scale we see in the graph you can’t really detect it. (Note:i don’t support prolife or pronatalism agendas, i just wanted to do a thought experiment to show my point).
Fair point. It’s hard to convey that in a domain name. Maybe stoppopulationdecline does that to most people already.
