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.
We must also look at what we eat 🍔, what we breathe 🌫️, and what we drink 🚱.
Industrial junk food, endocrine disruptors, the omnipresent pollution in the air as well as in water, all of this could have a profound — and largely underestimated — impact on our reproductive health. And what about the long-term effects of the health crisis, or even certain COVID vaccination campaigns? 💉❓ Studies are still ongoing, but it is essential to dare to ask the right questions.
Public policies are struggling to reverse the trend 🏛️, and some countries, like South Korea or Italy, are already experiencing the repercussions: economic decline 📉, accelerated aging 👵👴, tensions over pensions 🧾.
The question is no longer just demographic. It is civilizational. Do we still want to pass on, build, continue? 🏗️🌱
Or have we, collectively, drawn a line on the future ❓
