China, Russia, South Korea, Japan, USA, now Turkey... 2024 and 2025 is the year of every un-democratic government whining about low birth-rates.

Okay quick edit: I was exaggerating in calling S.Korea and Japan undemocratic. South Korea's government is blatantly corrupt (and Samsung has ownership of just about every part of life) and Japan has miserable working conditions because its government favors corporations over people. The USA is "democratic" too in that there are elections and you have "rights" on paper, but the politicians are bought out and those "rights" are only claims for financial compensation after you get trampled.
