RE: The Family

in Economics24 days ago

Wow, that is a lot of data. It is very concerning that we are seeing declining birthrates worldwide. Japan and South Korea seems to have some of the lowest rates. I have read issues where family businesses are forced to close because they don't have enough children to pass it on to, or the children have moved to cities. I think a lot of people still value families, and would want to start one, but the biggest hindrance has been the cost of living. Some would even argue the state of the world is messed up and they wouldn't want a child to experience it.

There are so many things working against the family. It is difficult and expensive to grow. However, it is also incredibly important. Broken families lead to broken people.
