    Low birth rates are a crisis for capitalism, not humanity. And if you count brown countries, it’s not even happening.

    Pension schemes are not a biological imperative.

      Just for clarification, if we’re talking about sub replacement fertility rates then it would be “brown countries” except for India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iran, Lebanon, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica and Cuba and more. Might be an invalid generalization now.
