Globullism has failed, but the folks in charge still think it's great because it made them rich. Stunning selfishness of older generations in display.
@jamesfranqui2660
It's very interesting how a generation votes themselves a cozy retirement and forgets to breed. Actually the problem is not a falling birth rate but the unsustainability of social benefits promised by the illustrious political class.
@mightymulatto3000
Service economies just aren't compatible with large families. Having a family with no wealth is just begging for generational poverty. Perhaps the corporate tax rate ought to increase.

Europe is not a continent. It is a peninsula hanging off the west end of Asia.
@RadicalTek
Europa faces a lost decade, like Japan.

Wow. That fun fact at the end puts things in perspective a LOT! It's easy to think a 3% decline is small but when you realize that translates to the population of Portugal and Switzerland COMBINED - then wowwwwww! Great video - keep up the good work!
@SpiritoftheDragonfly
The birth rate is actually declining everywhere in the world, and in most countries in the world outside of sub Saharan Africa, the birth rate has reached below replacement rate. In fact the places with the lowest birth rates in the world aren’t even in Europe. Not sure how you missed all that in your research.
@AlecMuller
They have 3 options: 1) change their own culture to support higher birth rates, 2) selectively welcome immigrants with high birthrates and compatible values to help change their culture without abandoning it, or 3) take in high-birth-rate immigrants regardless of values, and watch the newcomers establish new dominant values. We humans have been doing this to each other for millennia.

Not just Europe. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China too.

Imagine being a Childless person in your 80s or 90s and there are barely any young people left who will take care of you. Now imagine you have to go to hospital because you need a new hip. The doctor who will do the surgery is in her/his 60s. Nurses are rare, as young doctors, so you get your food and pills by a robot and check-ups are done by a computer. No one will visit you because your friends are dead or living too far away. During your surgery there might be a blackout because there aren't enough technicians taking care of the decaying infrastructure. Sounds thrilling.

Trying to predict more than a year into the future is hard, trying to predict more than 4 years into the future is impossible
@richdobbs6595
Sort of stupid point, because Europe isn't really a continent, but peninsula of Eurasia. Draw the boundaries differently, like splitting off East Asia for South and South East Asia would provide another collapse of a "continent".
@apolokaggwa6521
Yomi, you are absolutely right, that there is not a single European country with the normal replacement fertility rate (2 or more children per couple). As long as all of them have the abnormal sub-replacement fertility rate (0 to 1 child per couple), it doesn't matter where in fertility rate any of them stand. On the other hand, there is not a single African country without the normal replacement fertility rate. Since all the African countries can sustain their population normally, it doesn't matter where in fertility rate any of them stand. You may ask: Why are all the African countries sustaining their population normally, while all the European countries cannot? Is there something the Africans know that the rest of the world does not? The answer is an emphatic YES. We Africans know that it is our duty and responsibility to pass on our genes to our offspring and that failure to do so they would die a natural death, which is also known as extinction. The human species whether in Europe, Africa or anywhere else on this planet are bound by this natural law of our planet, whether we choose to abide by it or not. Therefore, you may be wondering how the abnormal sub-replacement fertility rate happens and why. It is one of the unintended consequences of human interference with HUMAN REPRODUCTION, often with good intentions, most prevalent in the European countries and in the rest of the 50% of the world population in more than 90 countries where it exists; but with serious economic and social repercussions. On the other hand, interference with HUMAN REPRODUCTION is least prevalent in African countries, where the normal replacement fertility rate is the norm, sustaining their population as a result. Here are some of the ways among others how human interference with HUMAN REPRODUCTION happens: 1. Abortion on demand 2. Childlessness 3. Contraception for its own sake and not for it was intended 4. Birth restrictions imposed by law 5. Hostility to childbearing 6. Same sex marriage permitted by law 7. Dependency on immigration to augment population 8. Disruption of the family unit, and so on.
@milossiska
at 6:39, I think, you are showing the map of Europe before the world war 2. any reasons for that?
@RadicalTek
Only Africa has a fertility rate over 2.1.
@JKTProductionzIncNCo
I mean to reverse population decline, nations of Europe will have to reverse alot of anti- natalism policies that they have adopted over the past 6 decades or more. Including heavily reducing immigration from non compatible nations, mostly banning infanticide/abortion, making sure universities are redesigned to get young men jobs ASAP and young women married. Basically a huge mindset shift in he culture in the role of men and women back to more traditional viewpoint. Also making sure income taxes are eliminated and a man is paid a family wage. Closing tax loop holes for corporations and banks. Also fixing the divorce and alimony laws massively. Of course none of this will happen b/c it will for at least one generation (30 to 35 years) harm productivity and reduce the tax base+corporate profits.

This is a very detailed video. Well done and keep up the great work.
@user-gw2pr7ey4n
Trickydicky: developments in technology (AI etc.) will reduce, relatively, the need for a working population. Europe will be able to grow technically to be able to feed and defend itself in this changing and increasingly unpredictable world! What is just as important is that Europe has strong integrated political institutions to facilitate this!
