DEMOGRAPHIC DOOM LOOP: WEST’S BABY BUST TIED TO CULTURE, NOT JUST COSTS

Birth rates in wealthy nations are collapsing—Korea leads the decline at just 0.9 births per woman, with Japan, Italy, and Germany close behind.

At this pace, populations could halve within two generations.

While many blame economics—high housing costs, childcare expenses, and job insecurity—analysts are warning that deeper cultural shifts are at play.

Social messaging discourages traditional family structures and encourages career-first lifestyles—despite data showing that married mothers consistently report the highest happiness levels.

Unless societies are willing to confront their cultural taboos, the demographic collapse will continue unchecked—and with it, the erosion of institutions built on stable families, growing populations, and generational continuity.
