Before getting to the remarks in the video below about “living through the greatest Western population bust in human history,” let me first bring attention to something recently noticed.
While visiting Russia, there are several social factors exclusive to this nation. Some distinctions are relatively new (resurgence of religion and faith supported by the state), and some developments have been taking place over a longer arc of history (expanded national population, family incentives supported by the state).
It might seem like an odd thing to notice, but the number of Russian families with young children far exceeds that seen in any other EU metropolitan area and/or American city.
If you look at the issue from a review of children aged 4 to 10, the difference is stunning. The number of Russian people with children in Russian cities far exceeds the number of Americans seen with children in large urban areas of the USA.
Kevin Dolan talks about the depopulation problem at a Natal conference in 2023. It’s not a scientific addendum, but from my own observations during travel, it is quite noticeable how American children in the 4 to 10-year-old age range have seemingly disappeared.
