So, the logical conclusion: raise pensions for the elderly, to be paid by the young that then can afford kids even less and at the same time cut spending on voluntary integration courses, so that even the motivated ones of the young refugees that consider to integrate and maybe stay are put off.
Yep, makes sense.
Don't forget to give so little funds to child care that a lot of people can't find a place for their kid even though they have a right to one. Meaning young people often have to decide between kids or career
Me too but nobody writes articles about it.
No way! Who world have thought policy for old people could cause such issues! I am sure raising the retirement age and less part time jobs will fix this…….
We need to tighten our belts, work harder and give more tax cuts to the rich! Oh, and more fossil fuel subsidies. Surely that'll fix the problem.
How could anyone have predicted this!?
How does one age faster?
You are not aging faster personally. But people are getting less children, so there are less younger people in your population increasing the average age.
Birthrate declining, deported immigrants, young people dying. Don't know what the real effect is.
having far right political party raising sentiment of discouraging immigrants even from western countries to work in germany.
They weren't particularly short to begin with so it's not that big of a deal.
Damn I need to restock my anti-aging cream. I do want to age faster than expected
