(sopuli.xyz)
Lol what is this map? We need some fact checking...
Something's off with it? My country checks out, at least, afaik.
This site seems to back it up too. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/maternity-leave-by-country

California should be a diff color
Disagree, but I do hope for California to become a seperate country after which they deserve to be a seperate data entry in a graph about countries.
workers taking Paid Family Leave are eligible for up to 8 weeks of benefits, plus 4 weeks before birth for expecting mothers.

Yet one more reason why people in the US are not having kids.
What’s your excuse, Russia?
Not saying it is for similar reasons, but Russia is, as far as I know, quite comparable to European countries in this regard. They're losing much more young men, so the demographic will be very different in the future but I don't think birth rate is actually that far off and not nearly as dramatic as south-korea's is for example.
Economic decline and young men dying in a war
How about loosing 27 million people 80 years ago fighting the Nazis? If that didn't happen we could be counting the offspring of another 10-15 millions of Russians. Then the famine, loosing their country, and building a new state. The 1990s, early 2000s must have been the complete opposite in Russia than in the USA. Also, in the 1980s the USSR was already collapsing.
