Who's academically interested in union formation right now? We let big tech companies cash out on loneliness & celibacy.

Tinder doesn't make money with union stability.

I mean, let it drop without trying anything to prevent it. In Quebec, we used to have a lower TFR than the rest of Canada. We inverted this position with accessible daycare (not yet universal), paid-leave for parents and more affordable housing.

Other policies can be implemented to complement this.

Probably, but we should not let fertility fall below a minimal threshold (somewhere between 1,5 and 1,8).

I appreciate the comment, but are South Korea and Japan in a good demographic setting now?

Sorry but no, wokists did not invent empathy, progressiveness or collective interest.

I'm glad this awkward situation is finally settled! It's a great day for the actuarial and demographical professions!

Now let's hope Eurostat also reach the same level of wisdom!

Seems there's not much of an audience for that topic around here... What about Threads?

Is there really such a thing as #PopSky yet? Seems pretty quiet for now...

Eurostat's methodology doesn't account for population aging and growth, so it must be interpreted with great prudence, or best : use another source.
