Bonab:Yes, because cost of living will be high. |

SixSeven:In Africa having fifteen kids means that when you grow old, each of those kids will send something. No welfare system makes it a must Overseas? You pay high taxes which ironically make cost of living more difficult for welfare that would take care of you in old age. Under thanr circumstance, children may not be necessary. Also things do cost more there. Even house costs more because houses must be built to standard ( not like Nigeria where we just build anyhow). All that adds up. Searching for money is not about being rich, it is about meeting up with high cost of living and high taxes there , which enables them to have a better life than most Africans here. |

peleson1:Racism will not allow Asian people do that. Italy once recruited Arab men to germinate Italian women for population increase shortly after World War 11. Till recently, Italy frequently increased its population through occasional dash of residential permits to foreigners made up of mostly black Africans. |

nairalanda1:I am looking at the philosophical foundation of the African society. It's not vested in material things but UBUNTU. I am because you are. At the end of the day, we see, even in western society that people need people. Covid reminded us about that. It's unfortunate we have had leaders who misuse our taxes because most of these things should be subsidized. The average African does not ask for much in life. Who are we and who are we becoming as a people? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXl_LVPBn1A All the children are ours.. Edit: I am not judging you or arguing with you, just sharing my POV. I see your points too ![]()

They should lay in the bed they made with honour. As their population slowly ages, I'm sure they'll find peace. But they should never try to relax their immigration laws so that jihadists don't ruin their country. Well, we can always count on their racist nature to prevent such infiltration. The end has come for them, though it'll still take a few decades sha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufmu1WD2TSk?si=FY-_qWDxa6eKbrW5 |

nairalanda1:The most conservative places in the world should be the middle east but even in most conservative places in America, it is generally believed women should be at home. Japan and Korean governments have offered cash bonus and child support but the issue doesn't go away because it's now cultural. Women are discriminated against in work places if they get pregnant or apply for maternity leave. Remember China isn't facing the severity of this problem even with their one child policies until they begin having high female workers and it happened to them. They now officially increased their birth rate per couple to 2 and decrease female workforce population. Japan and Korea are western in values and they are facing what Germany, France UK and other western countries who allow female population and liberalism to thrive. That's why the borders are open all over the West to shore up their population. Now the orientals (china, Japan, Korea, etc are not big on racial intermingling so the liberal culture that brought underpopulation is hitting them hard the most Also low wedges is also driven by the inclusion of women into the workforce as compared to the 1950s where they were low female in the workforce. |

This is going to be a big problem for South Korea in another 45 to 50 years if nothing is done to reverse the no baby issue. |

Fearlez:I have Chinese friends who ran away from the country because they wanted MORE kids. The government did not allow them back then and they have a problem with seeing the female child as not as important as the male...So the cycle continues.

Fearlez:In the 1950s, cost of living was good enough to sustain a one breadwinner family Now? It just isn't. That's the main driver of women in the workplace. A lot of japanese and Korean women want to marry and have kids, but they can't afford it even when both the man and woman work. Talk less of the man just working.Unless they move into a rural area where there are not enough jobs. |

nairalanda1:The world became greedy. I would blame governments for dropping the ball... When they needed men for wars, they knew what to do, when they needed women to get out of the house, they knew what to do. Have you seen the video of the man who decided to live off grid and the government was fighting him? Government has control. After God is the government and the politicians can lie all they want, they are largely responsible for this change because they are in charge of policies. And every of their policies affect the PEOPLE! Government wants to own and control a lot of things but give little or rubbish in return.

nairalanda1:No. Women came into the workforce in unprecedented large numbers after world war 11. They actually brought low wedges in the workforce starting from immediately after the world war ended in 1945. As women are not traditional breadwinners, organisations, companies and firms pay them significantly less than they would pay a male. A lot of women in South Korea and Japan are not even in long term relationships let alone marriages. Many of them work in high tech companies and don't even have time for socials. This is why male brothels exist in both countries for these working women to go get pipped after work. No matter what the mainstream media is peddling, it is feminism and female autonomy. There's no first world country with over 4 trillion dollar economy that can't raise two children. |

Fearlez:Yes you are right, but the real problem is cost of living No one can bring up a family in the developed world on one income. Two incomes is hard even with one child. |

Bonab:It's not wokeness. It's the cost of maintaining a child. The maintain a child in these countries is above the payroll of most couples. That's the main reason |

nairalanda1:I thought the developed world has better standard of living, higher wages and better life access to amenities and services. I have family members with 4-5 kids in Northern Europe. What happens to the west is playing out in Japan and South Korea. Only these two regions were women are now outnumbering men in work places and pursuing careers over family that are facing population decline. Remember this group are now freezing their eggs, using hormonal changing pills to put off pregnancies until their careers peak |

SmartPolician:I’d love to see some white people speak Yoruba and practice Yoruba culture. What’s the obsessiveness with “preserving culture.” Culture has no colour or gender. I’d love to see Chinese, Indians, Europeans and even Mexicans call themselves “Yoruba.” It’d be beautiful sight. Being Nigerian and Yoruba doesn’t have a colour, at end of the day, we’re all homosapiens who share 99.99% of our DNAs with each other. |
| Re: Empty Classrooms: S/Korea Shuts Down Over 4,000 Schools Amid Birth Rate Crisis by nairalanda1(m): 9:17pm On Jan 04 |
Fearlez:Yes, and everything there costs more than your salary so to speak. Also tax rates are higher there too.( That's part of why I laugh at Nigerians complaining about tinubu tax. ) |

nairalanda1:As their wages are higher so are their taxes. It offsets the tax and cost. Remember both the government of Japan and S. Korea are paying mothers cash and offering free education of choice but the women in both countries are not backing down. This same policy was offered somewhat in the US with social packages and black American women began having children from multiple fathers because government was footing the bill. For Tinubu tax, the Nigerian government has no moral grounds to implement first world taxation without implementing first world salaries, electricity and government transparency and free elections. |

Sulele04:I do not know it I believe it I do not need to be told things to know them With respect your question if the earth does not exist for humans does it exist fir dogs? Do you think that is the talk of a man with a working brain? Why do I believe it it? The current scientific belief and evidence is that in the observable universe there are 2 trillion galaxies Our galaxy the Milky has About 100–400 billion stars in the Milky Way one of which is our sun Each star has several planets and there are billions of planets like this earth There are more stars in the universe than there are human beings that have ever lived This earth supports life because there is the sun. No sun no life The earth is 4.54billiion years old Human beings have been here for 300000years that is not up to half a million years There have been vertebrates on earth for over 500 million years Dinosaurs first appeared 230 million years and lived for 160 million years They became extinct So we know that animals can and have lived here for millions of years and eventually become extinct It is reasonable for me from the foregoing to believe that one day we too will disappear It is also obvious to me that the earth does not exist for human beings |

Fearlez:Education is not free in south Korea and Japan. Yes, primary and secondary education is free. But the fact is, if you want your child to enter university, you send them to juku. Extra lessons. That cost money. Also in Japan, a child in senior secondary school has to go to a school away from home many times. That means his or her parents have to rent a place for him or her. Money University is not free there. In Japan, you got to take a loan to go to university there. Same in south Korea. Housing is.not cheap. Cost of living is not cheap. Ever wonder why they live on credit cards there. And their tax makes tinubus new tax laws look like tinubu is going easy on us Also, in Japan at least, salaries have been stagnant for over 30 years..since the japanese economic bubble of the 1980s burst. Yes they pay them high salaries by Nigerian standards. Not by their standards. The only good thing about life in a developed country is good public services . But for everything else , na OYO. That's why if you spend time on foreign equivalents of nairaland you go see them complain about how things are expensive and how the cost of living is high. Sometimes I want to beg them to come and sample life here so that they will know what is hardship |

aribisala0:Have you thought about spending less time in 2chan & reddit, brain dead conspiracy theory echo chamber. Just maybe you should touch more grass, meet more people, go to more places, have more sex. Just maybe enjoy your life more, & leave doomsday conspiracy balderdash for them white kids. |

Philosopher1979:Even if Europe goes right wing, it still won't change the fact that for a typical household in the us or Europe, you need the wife and husband to be working. And even then it might be a struggle for one child, talk less of three Watch a lot of documentaries and videos about Europe's population crisis. Even now, most young Europeans , including women who are supposedly woke want to have children but the problem is it costs too much. Then in Europe there is the job issue. In Italy, having a degree is no longer enough. I once saw a documentary from Italy. Young man, graduate, only job he could get was waiter at restaurant. Salary too low for wife and kids. He didn't even have enough to rent a flat so he was living with his parents. Man with degree. Not dropout Or the American man who was living with his mother because rent in the town where he worked was beyond his salary. Even for a one bedroom flat self. |
