and you won't fill the holes that are already in even if you somehow managed to raise the birthrate

you are naive

I prefer the term optimistic

the most of the western world has this problem and has had it for decades

do you really think

no one wouldn't try to solve it differently?

that the first thing that came upon them was taking in immigrants and nothing else was tried

yes

it's a well known thing that "birth incentives" don't provide

we've had one, quite a significant one(1/4 of the minimum monthly wage for a kid) installed here

how much do you think it raised the birthrate?

dunno

we've had 1.368 fertility rate in 2015

*1,386

2016 - 1,403; 2017 - 1,420, 2018 - 1,429

reminder you need 2,0

and these measures costs hmm

i see a good trend

and with new tax payers it pays for itself

immigrants just inflate the social system and it will threaten to collapse once again when they have assimilated and become corrupted

so you'll need to important more the second time

it is a positive trend but thats just 1% growth when it was already a super low level

it's nothing in the grand scheme of things

and it will now cost $10 billion a year

and again, even if it would have managed to raise to 2,0, which it won't, it won't fill the demographic holes that are already present

so yeah you need those 20 yo men from syria and iraq <:haha:318675605233336330>

those holes are temporary

3 or 4 generations are nothing

then you will face collapse of your social system within one generation

when boomers retire

not enough money for pensioners

pensioners die

oh right 🤦

new demographic is adjusted to itself

dude

w/e

we didnt have this problem 40 years ago

its not like browns are needed

you dont treat symptoms
