Since majority of natalist are religious anyways, why are you a natalist instead of antinatalist? Why do you think being a natalist is better for society? I am open to many answers as long as you do not mock my beliefs. Thanks!

Malaysia recorded a 4.5% decline in live births in 2025, while the total fertility rate (TFR) fell to 1.5 children per woman, reflecting a continued downward trend in the country's birth rate.

According to statistics released by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) on Thursday, 396,175 live births were recorded last year, down 18,743 from 414,918 in 2024.

Besides providing clothing, food, and shelter, what do you think the responsibilities of a parent are? I think the answers people give have probably evolved over the decades, and that’s why I think there’s been such a shift away from just reflexively having all the kids.

The Ramadan observance surveys were only conducted among the people who self identified as Muslim, thus excluding non-Muslim populations (conducted in 2022,2024,2025)

I coined the term to describe the PM of Hungary, Peter Magyar. He is pro-EU, anti-corruption, anti-immigration and pro-natalist. He wants better ties with the EU to unlock new funds, so that he can upgrade on Orban's already decent natalist policies. He is anti-immigration to prevent the rise of the far-right, maintain Hungarian cultural cohesion, law and order. He is pro-LGBT and promotes modern Christian values. Could this be a optimistic ideology to boost birth rates, by creating a big coalition of liberals and conservatives? You could also call it upgraded liberalism, or conservative liberalism.

As you know, we have new mods. However, anti-natalist content is still in the majority and getting upvoted more than natalist content. They are also cherry-picking 1 or 2 misogynists who comment in certain discussions and lying that the misogynists are the majority of the sub.

Can the mods starting banning the anti-natalist childfree regulars?

I'm just saying.

From the replies alone you can see that these are just horrible people. Claiming that women who have children don’t “think”. Yet I bet 30 years down the line when they retire they will be so glad that they can because of the workforce being born today. It’s genuinely infuriating how they have a self righteousness that having children is selfish when in the long run it’s quite the opposite.

Personal example: my mother's dad had 7 siblings. Between those 7 siblings only 2 had kids, for a total of 3 children among the 7. What happened with the uncles and aunts died off? They had no one to leave their possessions to except my mom and her brother. So they inherited multiple houses which they had no use for and sold them at a combined profit of $2.5 million.

So for example while Korea's TRF is abysmal, is it really that bad for the few kids that are left? They will inherit assets from family who didn't have kids?

As further food for thought 30%-50% of modern/centrist/dati leumi type orthodox jews both in leave as well

Its why as sectors in the American jewish population they've remained a stable percentage of the total jewish population, and why the rate of growth for all orthodox types isn't exponential in israel. (and its slowing as the completed fertility rate for ultra orthodox and dati jewish people is starting to shrink from anecdotal evidence)
