China

oahill — 2025-03-06 14:31:42 UTC

Po is declining because one-child policy and high expenses.
They are extending spring break with the theme of nature and love, hoping ppl fall in love and make babies
China’s birth rate last year fell to 6.77 births per 1,000 people, from 7.52 births in 2021, the
lowest on record.

Ethiopia

rema1964 — 2025-03-06 14:47:16 UTC

Currently, Ethopia has a fairly high birth rate, experiencing positive growth. However, it is starting to go down.
In recent times, women have stayed longer in school, family planning is becoming more popular, contraptives are more available, and people are being more educated. All of these factors combine to lower the birth rate, although it is still high.
In 1995, the birth rate in Ethopia was 7.01. Now, as of 2022, the birth rate is 4.06

Japan

jaga0976 — 2025-03-06 14:49:33 UTC

Japan has a very declining population it has lots of old people and very few young people. It has also been declining because of diseases and pandemics. The government is trying to grow by giving people 7,500 for babies. Tokyo is overpopulated but the rest of Japan is underpopulated. For the families to receive the money they have to move out of Tokyo. If you move out before 5 years you have to return the cash. Another reason is because the birth rate is very low at 1.3 babies per woman. The need a 2.1 for the country to be stable.

Taiwan

bejo0998 — 2025-03-06 14:51:16 UTC

Taiwan's population is declining due to young people seeing having a family as an economic burden
The government is including child allowances, a childcare system, and parental leave with
payment and tax incentives for rearing young children.
In Taiwan, the total fertility rate (TFR) — which measures the number of children born per
woman during her lifetime — sharply declined from seven births in 1951 to 0.975 births in
2021.

Thailand

jatr4000 — 2025-03-06 14:56:21 UTC

Thailand currently has a very dense population of 140 people/square km. For comparison, Canada only has 4 people/square km.
Mechai Viravaidya had noticed two issues caused by the same thing. A population explosion and an Aids epidemic. His solution for both was advertised, affordable, and easily accessible birth control, condoms, and vasectomies.
Currently, their population is declining at a stable rate, their overpopulation problem slowly being solved. Along with that, their death rates from Aids have gone down a whopping 90%!

Pakistan

kaja3543 — 2025-03-06 14:57:15 UTC

In pakistan, the population is growing rapidly. Pakistan has a total fertility rate, per woman, of 3.3.

Reasons why the population is growing is that the government is not supplying birth control, women aren't allowed to leave the house without a male companion, and girls are not allowed to go to school.
Pakistan is the fifth most populous country in the world: its population reached around
231.4 million people in 2021

India

kabu0993 — 2025-03-06 15:00:30 UTC

India became the largest country in 2023 by overtaking countries india had a lot more and probably still does have a lot more kids than adults.
Increasing use of contraceptives and rising education among girls could have contributed to
the decline in fertility rates, the government says.
The use of family-planning methods jumped to 66.7 percent in 2019-21 from 53.5 percent in
2015-16. india may also be implementing a two child policy.
But India’s annual population growth has averaged 1.2 percent since 2011, compared with 1.7
percent in the 10 years previously, government figures show.

Afghanistan

matr0600 — 2025-03-06 15:00:49 UTC

In Afghanistan the population is growing rapidly. This is most likely because of the changes they have made there.
In Afghanistan they have taken away the right to buy and sell contracepition.
Due to this change now one in every 14 Afghanistan women dies of causes related to pregnancy, and now is one of the most dangerous places to give birth.

Iran

kysq0992 — 2025-03-06 15:01:00 UTC

1)Iran is trying to get people to have more kids. In Iran, it is more expensive to have a kid.

2)Iranians find themselves faced with a hard-line theocratic regime intent on

abolishing or severely restricting access to abortion and contraception. Tehran has allocated $660 million to encourage Iranians to bear children — and discourage those who are trying not to.

3)Iran’s fertility rate, or the average number of children women are having, is now 1.8, down from 2.5 a decade ago and well below the so-called replacement rate of about 2.1 — the level at which the population remains static.

Italy

wico0614 — 2025-03-06 15:01:07 UTC

The population is declining because the bonus is not high enough, and families cannot afford to raise children.
Italy is trying to double the monthly bonus, which is €80 so families can afford to have a kid
Expanding baby bonuses would add about €2.2 billion to Italy’s public spending over six
years.

Nigeria

abja0609 — 2025-03-06 15:01:25 UTC

Nigeria population is 8 billion and and eleven years ago the population was seven billion.

Nigeria is struggling for modern needs like health care,and the Government is expanding access to birth control and Protection.

Egypt

thha1089 — 2025-03-06 15:01:46 UTC

The population is growing rapidly. In 2022, Egypt's population rose by 1.6 million.
As a way to slow the population growth, Egypt put in place a 2 child policy. To enforce it, the government is paying 1000 egyptian pounds annually to each married woman who have 2 or less kids until the age of 45.

Hungary

male0980 — 2025-03-06 15:01:56 UTC

Hungary's population is currently shrinking. The leader is attempting to increase it without immigration.
Hungary’s government has taken over six privately owned fertility
clinics and boosted funding to make treatments accessible for many more couples. They have also made fertility drugs free. The government has already introduced several measures, including tax benefits, and other programs to favor families.
Currently, the birth rate in Hungary is at a low number of 1.48 babies per woman.

Russia :)

alsc0974 — 2025-03-06 15:02:18 UTC

Since 2010, Russia's working-age population has been declining, according to U.N. data. Analysts warn that this trend, along with an aging population, could hinder economic growth in the coming decades. A forecast from the Economist Intelligence Unit predicts that by 2050, Russia's overall population will
have decreased by 8.4% from its 1995 level.

Singapore

jowo0893 — 2025-03-06 15:02:51 UTC

Singapore is a place that encourages people to have children and actually wants to help parents pay for expenses
This implication is called the baby bonus, a cash gift, which means higher Government contributions

to Child Development Accounts and a doubling of paid paternity leave.

The cash payout for the first and second child in a family will be $11,000, up from $8,000
The birth rate in Singapore is low due to the high cost of living, health care &long working hours,
Singapore has a 1.04 birth rate per woman.
Mr. Wong said that this implication was made so that parents could have help all the way until primary school.

Denmark WA, Australia

comy3488 — 2025-03-06 15:03:03 UTC

denmark has a fairly low birth rate they are using advertisements to try and get families to have more babies which will spark up the birth rate in the country.

the reason why birth rates are so low is because high educated women were less likely to have kids now in present day its the more highly educated women who are having more children.

in 2022 ll.054 births per 1000 people 0.86 increase from 2021 now as of 2024 ll.183 births per 1000 people is more then 1% more than what it was in 2022
