Young people can barely support themselves

Uh, no.

"This is on par with annual declines seen before the pandemic, the report said, which averaged around 2% fewer babies each year."

Long term trend.

Just what we need to help control global warming, or climate change, whatever it is called now. I am all for a smaller US population.

Who will take care of the aging boomers and GenX?

On behalf of GenX - we will take care of ourselves thank you very much.

The world does not need more humans. Having a baby is selfish and done to fulfill one's self. You are not making some grand sacrifice for the world, this is about you and yours.

If everyone stopped having babies, humans would cease to exist. Seems that is what you want.
Despite your beliefs, having children is a sacrifice. It is also a blessing and an experience so rewarding that those who choose to not have children will never experience.

Okay, so it's a sacrifice, but it's also "a blessing and an experience so rewarding." Sounds like you think this blessing and rewarding experience is a terrific benefit to you overall. Great. Go for it. But that's not a grand sacrifice overall that you are doing to benefit humanity instead of yourself. You just contradicted that.

Tax the wealthy more and use those taxes to pay for daycare and provide all parents of children under 18 a stipend.

Republicans are the ones that are complaining the loudest about the falling birth rate but they also tell people that they shouldn't have kids until they're financially stable and ready to have them. I've got news for you, no one is ever "ready" for kids.

If you're concerned about falling birth rates, stop being so disgusting and self-righteous towards people actually having them.

Again. The earth doesn’t need 8 billion humans

People from Africa do not care what you think.

Malaria, HIV, malnutrition, diarrheal disease, tuberculosis, and violent conflict cares.

Do you ever deal in facts or just wishful thinking? Population has been exploding in Africa since the 90’s.

Africa has a high mortality rate and lower life expectancy. If the global community stood back, the numbers would reverse.

Did you birth any children, yourself?

NP. I've birthed two and it's definitely the most selfish thing I have ever done. They made me focused on my home and family and took me away from other pursuits I had had that had a positive impact on the world. They're my little pet project, not a gift to humanity.

Wait, how would you give to the world if your parents weren’t so selfish to birth and raise you?

The selfish are the DINKs living in NW DC and North Arlington complaining about their student loans and the cost of daycare who think they are changing the world. The immigrant blue collar laborers living in Manassas and College Park with a couple kids raising them are definitely not the ones expressing an attitude of selfishness. They are raising the next generation.

Um, we already had our children. We're good. Thanks.

Can you please point to one instance of a Republication telling people to wait to have children? You're just spewing nonsense.

Have these reports included any information on whether the decline is a choice or rising infertility rates? I am a bit concerned about that. That must be playing a role.

100%. I am so tired of the young millennials/older Gen Z complaining that they came out of a college into a recession. Yeah, so did I. I waited tables in addition to my very low paying job when I graduated. You can too.

So what?
Why do you need everyone to breed?
Mind your business.

Africa, Pakistan, and a few others. They are still breeding like rabbits.

US & EU? We are in rapid decline.

Only illegal immigration is keeping us on an upward population track.

Pakistan is ground zero for the climate crisis.
Their population is going shrink due to flood, famine, and heat.
So that’s helpful.
