      there are two possibilities

      * the fertility rate actually fell so fast recently
      * hundreds of thousands of young women emigrated without that being reported, so the real population is much smaller than the official one

      Good, less people for putin’z invasion armies.

      almost like making life economically challenging has impacts on society

    4. Logical. The level of migration of young people from Belarus is simply outrageous. However, not only young people, but also families with children. Mostly old people and those who cannot leave for some reason stay.

      whaaaaat, women who get treated like dogshit dont want to have children? Who would have tought.

      More extreme than many other places, but still in line with much of the world. Feels like the world is basically stuck in a massive Malthusian trap, but this time without starvation or genocide; but instead just a slow decline.

      Theyve all migrated to my city and having babies here.

      (This isn’t me xenophobic. I like them, they’re cool).

      Got family in this shithole thanks to my GF, it’s insane, 1984 style.

      Last time the father visiter his daughter near Paris, he came with banknotes and handed these to her, when she asked why, he said “I saw TV how you were struggling with the cold and hunger, everyday they show your fate, I’m so sorry for you”

      Friend of the father was a candidate for a job in the administration, they’ve searched everything, phone, social medias, messages, pictures, they finally found something related to politics and life in BL : she made two weeks in detention and is banned for life for any job in administration.

      You think your country is shit tiers, yeah, maybe, guess what, russia (because a lot of agents are russian in BL) has cooked much worse for you.

      So, yeah, surprise, having kids in this dystopian fake state doesn’t ring a bell to a lot of people, they’ve tried to revolt, they were squashed like ants, and we didn’t move a finger, now it’s too late, with the technology used by governments and the firepower/tools available, you can’t change things without going for the full national bloodbath, nobody really wants that, and I won’t blame them for that.

      Right now, while writing this, invasive eastern bots are reading these words…

      Ah yes, the trad countries russia and belarus…
      So this is how theyre doing

      People don’t want to have new families in a russian-influenced shithole? Shocking.

    11. While specifically for Belarus, the problem is more obvious, every part of the world struggles with low birthrates. Doing stuff like free childcare, maternity and paternity leave, reducing work hours seems to only slow down the collapse, not prevent it. The real reason seems to be that in an industrialised society there’s just more stuff to do. Like, would you rather play the best video games the world has to offer or raise a child?

      Don‘t worry. Belarus is already planning a head and is flying in migrants from all over the world. /s

      Maybe prospective parents don’t want to contribute to a society where the scientists don’t know how to make a proper line graph. That sudden shift in the x axis from annual increments to a 5 years increment is vomit inducing. 

      That likely should be a gradual downward trend line and instead they present it as a sudden collapse.

      Honestly I’m not sure I can believe any peer-reviewed source that produced that drek.

      Mr Potato Head will probaly cry for his dear Tsar to help.

    15. TokyoMegatronics on

      faster downward trend than the rest of the world.

      i honestly don’t see why people would want kids these days.

    16. jalanajak on

      1. Fertility rate drops worldwide.

      2. Birth gaps in Belarus population pyramid are:

      1942 (one year after WW2 came in full to Belarus and conceptions largely halted)

      1969 (+27 years, one generation down)

      1997 (+28 years, two generations down)

      Around 2025…2028 (+~28 years, three generations down).

      3. General trend in emigration to the west.

      4. War.

    17. Ok… Not disagreeing with what everyone else is saying, but can we talk about how shit the X-axis of this graph is? 

      Just compressing 5 years into 1 grid space is really fucked up. I am wondering if the downwards trend was already happening and OP is manipulating the data to spark more engagement.

      Edit: Other thought, is this data fucked up because Belarus hasn’t been tabulating/reporting such data as frequently as it used to?

    18. Fluffy-Fix7846 on

      Excellent news. We should encourage other countries to reduce their birth rates as well, until the world population is back down to something long-term sustainable like 1 billion.

    19. Maybe there is almost no fertile man left alive in these countries? Idk but war does bad stuff with populations

    20. Fabulous_Ass on

      FYI, the graph is manipulated by timeline distortion. OP, please keep standards

      Belarus is a de facto Russian province, therefore those are not children per woman, those are Russian soldiers per bio incubator.
