Australian fertility rate hits record low in 2020

Australia's fertility rate hit a record low in 2020 and the Bureau of Statistics says women are choosing to have children later in life, according to Sky News business reporter Edward Boyd.

This means there is less economic activity as fewer children means fewer childcare jobs and less people who will pay tax when they grow up.

The median age of Australian mothers in 2020 is 31.6 years old, a number which has been slowly rising over the last 30 years.

The ABS has shown fertility rates have dropped from 1.9 children per woman in 1990 to 1.58 today.

Who the hell wants to have kids in a police state????

[richardsstephen]

Who would want to bring a child up in a prison island

[electricshrapnel]

They will never talk about all the reasons for why this is happening

[mikespike]

Who wants kids when the justice system is all in favour of taking them away from fathers whenever the mother feels you ain’t good enough anymore!

This is exactly what the eugenics movement wants. Georgia Guidestones stand in Edmonton GA and should be read over your station. Big granite monoliths with commands of theirs carved in stone.

I wonder if the rate will decrease after being j a bb e d . I think that's called sterility .

[willywantoknow]

Back a few years ago it became voluntary to give your newborn shots. About 50% decided not to; consequently autism dropped 50% Thanks Australia

[curtisburns]

Really? But the federal government has been fu**ing us all so hard!

[shellyaus]

it's called "side effects"

[VeteranfromOz]

That's one of the advertised side effects....

[collydogznampach]

And it will absolutely crash with the poison being pumped into them.

[Dodo-cktq]

Dont get married, don't have kids and he lived happily ever after and retired at 45.

[cyclonutterd]

It's the mandated clot shots causing the problem.

[frankly]

Birth rates have been going down since feminism started, More women in the workforce (wage slaves) less having families.. Wait till it comes out the clot shot has messed even more up, Rip our people

[scarseven]

Who would want to bring a child into this world?

[carlostommybaggs]

The reasons for women not having babies are well known. But there will be no honest public discussion about any of these, unless it's to blame men.

[scrusius]

Did he just say give a cash injection to get the baby numbers up ?? Are you kidding me ? You have any idea the kind of parents that would create to have a kid to chase money ? The next generation will be raised worse then this one

[watchwomankitkat]

The strange juice in the ../.j.A...b.!.. doesn't help the rate either

[lappo]

Hmmmm... nothing to do with the profit booster myocardial clot shot of death

[JohnDoe-kbfe]

Just getting us ready for more immigration.
