Kind of is a disaster. It’s not a lower, but stable, birth rate. It’s precipitously dropping.

- gumby 3y agoI guess I don’t consider it disastrous. There is no shortage of babies being born.
- huytersd 3y agoThe rate is 0.72. Every 20 years you lose 20% of your population or a percent a year. That would give South Korea 100 years of existence at this point. It’s dire.
- wizofaus 3y agoPretty sure your maths is off - even if it did steadily fall by 20% every 20 years, it'd still have a population of 16 to 17 million in 100 years' time. So no, not especially dire.
