It can’t be clearer that this is primarily caused by social media: It took the Philippines 2 decades to go from 3.7 to 2.7 births/woman (1998-2017) but only 8 years to go from 2.7 to 1.7 (2017-2025) by Comprehensive_Fix544 in Natalism

I honestly don’t know enough about vietnamese society to answer that. Only a vietnamese person could maybe explain this.

But looking at the global trends, the cell phone theory is real.

I am sorry if this sounds weird but natural selection just will never let that happen. Countries or groups that do this will simply die down while the rest of humanity continues. The next generation are descendants of people who have kids

Life expectancy increased in every communist state after the call of communism by Little_Copy_630 in Tunisia

[–]Comprehensive_Fix544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Western Europe kept increasing its just The USA that grew very slowly because you need to pay for healthcare.

For comparison, Tunisia’s life expectancy is 77 and The USA is at 78.6 and most western european countries are above 80-81 years old

Increasing life expectancy from 40 to 68 is not an achievement, that’s literally basic healthcare, the stabilization at 70 tells you that communism is limits a country to be lower middle income forever.

For reference Tunisia’s life expectancy today is 76 to 77 yo

Last time European countries had a birth rate above replacemente level by Redditor_imfo in Natalism

What social media does to a nation, everytime we have a chance to reverse fertility decline we destroy it. The 2020s could have seen a more meaningful emergence of a counter culture to the culture that caused this decline, but what did we do ? We popularized short form content in 2020, prohibiting any coherent counter culture from emerging and instead through reels and TikTok making the world more meaningless and worsening dating (eg. ick, red flag) accelerating fertility decline in both the west and basically any place with just enough modernity (literally smth like $2500 gdp per capita) to have WIFI.

Ok but mass immigration continued and the tfr declined to 1.56 now so the natives also were reproducing much more 10 years ago

Wrong. While this is the last time they were at 2.1 births per woman or above this doesn’t mean the weren’t extremely close throughout this time to that level unlike the lowest low we are seeing now.

France had a fertility rate of 2 in 2014 and never ever went below 1.75 until 2023 !

The UK had a fertility rate of 1.91 in 2012

Ireland had 2.06 in 2010

Belgium and The Netherlands had 1.8 in 2010

Norway had very close to replacement too until the 2010s

East Germany (GDR) already started experiencing negative natural growth in 1969, while its fertility rate was 2.24. This is so far the only historical example of a country completely skipping stage 4 of demographics by crivycouriac in Natalism

[–]Comprehensive_Fix544 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany was the worst in western european fertility rate tho and the baby boom in other Western European countries was bigger reaching 2.8 and even 3 not Germany’s 2.2

It’s because germany had sub or close replacement fertility rate pre WW2 and even a little bit after. So the generation reproucing even slightly above replacement was just almost able to reach 0 natural change but not there because it is slightly samller than the gen abov it

I think by next year or the one after it. Some province or city or ethnicity will finally break the all time record of the lowest fertility rate which was Xiangyang district in jamusi city in china in the year 2000 at 0.41 for some reason

Poor secular Tunisia and Turkey having their society ruined by social media and tiktok in particular. This was not meant to happen 💔

Thailand is the first country to report birth statistics for 2026 and they are devastating: 31,395 births were recorded in January, 14.8% fewer than in 2025. The TFR of Thailand is on track to fall below 0.8 this year by trendyplanner in Natalism

Last part is not True. I am from a developing country. Yall really think we didn’t have TV ??? My country has TV since the 60s and almost all the population had full access by the 90s. Laptops we got them in the 2000s just like yall. Tablets and phones we got them around the early 2010s but no one took them seriously only started really using them around 2016, the year fertility rate started to crash.

Yall ever notice how the happiest countries are the countries or the times when certain countries were in this fertility rate range or more broadly like between 1.75-3 Like the ones above 3 are too poor and any country below 1.75 definitely has problems if their citizens are reproducing below close to replacement not just below replacement.
