I think the 3-child policy is driven by the need for manpower
and survival of China by the government.

Places like these should be filled with climate (and other)
refugees ASAP!

Russia's Demographic Crisis Explained - TLDR News
[quote]Putin's invasion of Ukraine hasn't gone as well as he had
planned, but things aren't going much better at home either,
with Russia's fertility rate verging on a demographic crisis.
Can Putin do anything about it, or will the war just make things
worse?[/quote]

Sounds like a positive development to me at this particular
juncture in the timeline!?
Comments:
[quote]A Russian has recently married into our family. She said
that there was no way she was going to marry a Russian male.
Apparently there is an imbalance between the number of males to
females in the populace with less men. The males apparently take
advantage of the situation and the females get treated poorly,
so she wanted out.
This wasn't mentioned in the TLDR video.
Maybe the Ukrainian war will have an impact on the out of
balance male-female ratio. She did mention the low male life
expectancy as all her father's friends have died.[/quote]
[quote]Worth thing noting and I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned
here is the domestic violence issue in Russia. It was
decriminalised in 2017. Many many women have been harmed at the
hands of their own men and many ended up dying in their own
homes due to brutality occuring there. I can't imagine all this
encourages women to have children when violence is so rampant.
Then again, the head of the Russian church has remarked that
"beatings are mere blessings" so maybe this might actually have
nothing to do with birth rates going to hell.[/quote]
Perhaps integration of some Ukrainians into Russia is the
purpose of the "filtration camps" then?

[quote]Elon Musk claims 'Japan will eventually cease to exist'
because of its declining birth rate
...
According to the article, Japan's population dropped by a record
644,000 people to just over 125.5 million in 2021, which saw
831,000 births and 1.44 million deaths. The East Asian country’s
population decline is now in its 11th consecutive year.[/quote]
In reality:
HTML https://www.statista.com/graphic/1/1066956/population-japan-historical.jpg
reducing Japan's population by 100 million would merely bring it
closer to the pre-Meiji population, as I previously discussed
here:
HTML http://aryanism.net/blog/aryan-sanctuary/another-one-bites-the-dust/
which was a population (while still high) at least had not yet
exceeded the carrying capacity of the land, and hence is what we
should be actively trying to get back to ASAP. And at least back
then Japanese were not Eurocentrists, whereas now this is how
they respond to Musk:
[quote]Master, thank you for raising the issue.[/quote]
This Eurocentrist Japan is what Musk is actually worried about
ceasing to exist.

I am no fan of Macron, but on this occasion he displays common
sense (to our enemies' horror):
HTML https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/09/18/macron-proposes-repopulating-rural-areas-with-migrants/
[quote]French president Emmanuel Macron has proposed creating a
bill next year to reform France’s immigration and asylum
policies, including a proposal to redistribute migrants to rural
areas facing demographic decline.
...
“We have a policy that is both inefficient and inhumane,
inefficient because we find ourselves with more foreigners in an
irregular situation than many of our neighbours, inhumane
because this pressure means that they are too often badly
received,” President Macron said, the newspaper Le Figaro
reports.
...
President Macron, who made his remarks on Thursday, also called
for a new system to redistribute migrants across France,
specifically in “rural areas, which are losing population,”
arguing that “the conditions for their reception will be much
better than if we put them in areas that are already densely
populated, with a concentration of massive economic and social
problems.”[/quote]
France is merely arriving late to obvious solutions that other
EU countries had already reached years ago:
[quote]Similar policies have been suggested in other countries
in recent years, including Germany, where in 2016 it was
suggested that villages and small towns could help integrate
asylum seekers better and the asylum seekers would help counter
demographic decline.
A University of Milano-Bicocca study released last year also
proposed using asylum seekers to repopulate rural areas and
small towns in Italy, arguing that if the local governments
limited migrant centres to no more than 25 people, there would
be little economic cost.[/quote]

How do we know this is the correct solution? We look at who are
opposing it:
[quote]Some in France, such as populist National Rally leader
Marine Le Pen, have come out against Macron’s proposal, however.
“Emmanuel Macron wants to distribute foreigners in an irregular
situation [illegal aliens] to rural areas. We believe that they
should go back home. Unable to apply the law, he wants to change
it. We will oppose this new madness!” Le Pen said on Twitter on
Friday.
Rival populist Eric Zemmour had proposed €10,000 “birth grants”
during the French presidential elections, to repopulate the
countryside naturally[/quote]
What is madness is encouraging more new births when there are
already so many people desperately in need of housing.

Actually, Canada is capable of carrying a much higher population
than merely 50 million:
HTML https://www.amazon.ca/Maximum-Canada-Million-Canadians-Enough/dp/0735273103
therefore Canada should be a significant destination country for
climate refugees.

If you ask me, 100 million by 2041 would still not even close to
enough given that climate refugees will eventually number in the
billions.
I also agree that Quebec should be a destination for climate
refugees from Francophone countries in particular:

Why the war in Ukraine should be dragged out for as long as
possible:

[quote]Besides casualties in the thousands on the battlefield,
the enlistment of 300,000 reservists to join the fight -- and an
even bigger flight of men abroad -- is derailing Putin’s goals
of starting to stabilize the population already this year.
...
“The chief blow to the birth rate will be indirect, because most
families will have their planning horizon completely destroyed
as a result,” Efremov said. “And the impact will be stronger the
longer the mobilization lasts.”[/quote]
This is why I do not blame Iran for supplying Russia:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-iran-agrees-ship-missiles-133311484.html
The more weaponry Russia has, the longer we can keep the war
going, and hence the more we can decimate Russia's population.
[quote]as Russia approached the invasion of Ukraine in February,
it was coming off its deadliest year since World War II -- made
worse by the pandemic -- with the population in decline since
2018. It reached 145.1 million on Aug. 1, a fall of 475,500
since the start of the year and down from 148.3 million in 1991,
when the Soviet Union collapsed.
The continuation of the military campaign and mobilization until
the end of next spring would be “catastrophic,” according to
Efremov, likely bringing births down to just 1 million in the 12
months to mid-2024. The fertility rate may reach 1.2 children
per woman, he said, a level Russia saw only once in
1999-2000.[/quote]
Of course, the correct Russian fertility rate should be 0.
At the point when the Ukraine war is about to end (hopefully
still years away), Russia will be at its weakest. At that point,
every country geographically capable of invading Russia should
invade Russia simultaneously to finish it off.

[quote]Russia already had a huge gender imbalance before the
Ukraine invasion, dating back to massive battlefield losses in
World War II, Paul Goble writes at Eurasia Daily Monitor.
Results from the 2021 census are expected to show that Russia
has 10.5 million more women than men, almost the same disparity
as a decade ago — the double blow being that Russian men at
"prime child-bearing age" are dying in Ukraine or fleeing
Putin's draft, which will "further depress the already low
birthrates in the Russian Federation and put the country's
demographic future, already troubled, at even greater
risk."[/quote]
:)
[quote]"The mobilization is upending families at perhaps the
most fraught moment ever for Russian demographics, with the
number of women of childbearing age down by about a third in the
past decade" amid the country's broader population decline,
Bloomberg reports. "While demographic traumas usually play out
over decades, the fallout of the invasion is making the worst
scenarios more likely — and much sooner than expected."
Continuing with the Ukraine war and mobilization efforts until
the end of next spring would be "catastrophic" for Russia,
Moscow demographer Igor Efremov tells Bloomberg. It would likely
bring birth rates down to 1 million between mid-2023 and
mid-2024, dropping the fertility rate to 1.2 children per woman,
a low mark Russia hit only once, in the 1999-2000
period.[/quote]
:)
[quote]Might there be a Russian post-war baby boom?
It's possible. Sometimes wars "lead to higher fertility," as
when "sudden bursts of conception" occur as men deploy for
battle, Goble writes at Eurasia Daily Monitor. "For example,
monthly birth data from the 1940s clearly shows that U.S. baby
boom began not as the G.I.'s returned from war, but as they were
leaving for war." After the fighting stops, he adds, "wars may
trigger a surge of nationalist ideas making people susceptible
to pro-natal ideas and policies, even as so-called 'replacement
fertility' often leads families to 'respond' to high-casualty
events by having 'replacement' children.'"[/quote]
Preventing this is why Russia must be invaded the moment the
Ukraine war ends.
[quote]And in the meantime, "downloads of dating apps have
significantly increased in the countries to which Russian men
fled," the Times reports, noting sharp rises in downloads in
Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, and Kazakhstan.[/quote]

8 billion and counting
[quote]This week, the world’s population ticks over a historic
milestone. But in the next century, society will be reshaped
dramatically — and soon we’ll hit a decline we’ll never
reverse.[/quote]
[quote]Eight billion. It’s a number too big to imagine but think
of it this way: In the time it takes you to read this paragraph,
the world’s population grew by around 20 people. [/quote]
[quote]We’re getting older and older, which means there are
fewer people able to work to support more people who can’t.
[/quote]
[quote]Cities are expanding, chewing up arable farmland as they
go.[/quote]
[quote]Where are we going?
The world is likely to have a couple more billion mouths to feed
in just a few decades.
The UN’s latest projections, released earlier this year, suggest
the world will house about 9.7 billion humans in 2050.
“Demographic projections are highly accurate, and it has to do
with the fact that most of the people who will be alive in 30
years have already been born,” the UN’s population division
director, John Willmoth, says.
“But when you start getting 70, 80 years down the road, there’s
much more uncertainty.”[/quote]
[quote]Under its most likely scenario, the UN projects the world
population will reach about 10.4 billion in the 2080s.[/quote]
[quote]From there, it’s set to plateau for a couple of decades,
before falling around the turn of the 22nd century. [/quote]
[quote]But the range of reasonable possibilities in 2100 is
considerably wider, between 8.9 and 12.4 billion.[/quote]

How war is changing Russia’s population | DW Business Special
[quote]President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is causing
major changes back home. Hundreds of thousands of Russian men
are being mobilized to fight and tens of thousands have already
been killed or injured. Meanwhile, many Russians have left their
country and millions of Ukrainians are thought to have arrived.
What impact will these changes have on the Russian population?
And could the public response lead to Putin’s downfall? We
discuss these questions and more with UCLA’s Oleg Itskhoki in
this DW Business Special.[/quote]
