https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/20 ... baby-bust/The decline in fertility is visible in preliminary birth-certificate statistics reported by Mexican cities for the first half of 2021: Births tumbled by 17 percent in Mexico City compared with the same period a year earlier, according to the data. They slumped 18 percent in Monterrey, 21 percent in Mérida and 29 percent in Tlaxcala. The trend has also been apparent in shops, clinics and churches.
This is great news! The world doesn't need anymore people and we'd be better off reducing the population around half! More room and more resources for that 3-4 billion.funkervogt wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 11:06 pm Mexico is having a baby bust thanks to COVID-19.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/cr ... 022-01-14/Croatia has lost close to 400,000 people or nearly 10% of its population over the past decade due to emigration and a low fertility rate, according to preliminary results of the 2021 census published by the state news agency Hina.
Croatia's population totalled 3.9 million as of Aug. 31, 2021, down from 4.3 million in 2011
https://www.total-croatia-news.com/news ... ts-by-2050The UN says that Croatia currently has 4.24 million inhabitants, of which nearly 2.2 million are women. It is anticipated that in 2030 Croatia's population could fall to 3.97 million, then to 3.55 million in 2050 and to only 2.61 million in 2100. This would mean that by 2050 Croatia would lose 686,000 inhabitants or 16.2 percent.
The worst forecast is for Bulgaria, which during the same period could lose 27.9 percent of its population, and for Romania and Ukraine, which could also lose more than a fifth of the population. BiH could lose 19.5 percent of the population and Serbia 17.2 percent.
South Korea’s total population in 2021 is dropping for the first time since they began collecting census data.
Statistics Korea reported a 0.18% on-year to 51.7 million at the end of 2021. In 2020, Statistics Korea projected this drop in population would start in 2029.
The number of expected babies per South Korean woman is poised to drop to the lowest level of 0.82, versus the previous record low of 0.84 recorded in 2020, which was also the world’s lowest for the year. In 2021, the number of babies born is forecast at 261,000, compared with last year’s 275,000.
People might say, well a shrinking population is no big deal. The South Korean projection (without antiaging technology) is that the median age of people in South Korea in 2070 will have increased from 44 to 62. Half of the people would be near the current retirement age or older. This will happen in Taiwan, Japan, and other Asian and European countries. The current retirement age in South Korea is 60.
The collapse of the family and marriage. No stability = less children.
The Atlantic: “The U.S. population grew at the slowest pace in history in 2021, according to census data released last week. That news sounds extreme, but it’s on trend. First came 2020, which saw one of the lowest U.S. population-growth rates ever. And now we have 2021 officially setting the all-time record.”
“U.S. growth didn’t slowly fade away: It slipped, and slipped, and then fell off a cliff.”
