Why Rich Countries Have No Future

In many wealthy countries, fewer babies are being born than needed to keep the population stable. Places like Japan, Italy, and South Korea are struggling the most, even though their governments have tried everything from cash bonuses to better parental leave. Raising kids is expensive, jobs aren’t always stable, and in many cultures, women are expected to handle most of the childcare—making it tough to balance work and family. But it’s not all bad news! Countries like France and the US have found ways to slow the decline by offering strong support for parents, like affordable childcare and flexible work policies. If more nations follow their lead, maybe birth rates can bounce back—but it’s going to take big changes!
