But why ??
A chilling map is circulating on social networks: fertility rates in Europe are catastrophic ❌👶. Almost the entire continent is marked in red, with numbers well below the replacement level (2.1 children per woman) ⚠️. Elon Musk, never one to shy away from alarmist comments on demographics, describes this trend as a 'great extinction' — and he may not be wrong 🧬⏳.
But why have we ended up here?
The reasons are multiple: economic precariousness 💸, cost of living 📈, difficulty in balancing career and family ⏰👨👩👧👦, lack of support for young parents 🍼, growing individualism 🤳… But that’s not all.
