Thread: Demographic Situation in Russia (Not enough children being born....) Reasons & views

Interesting that in Russia demography is treated as a part of politics rather than, let us say, culture and history or society.

In some countries you have demography, in Russia demography has you, Neo.

Interesting that you made that observation..
I posted it in this section because I was thinking about the political impacts and results of it and what government campaigns there are about it... (apparently there are some initiatives).

In Northern Europe it is Politics too; It's just about the only reason why some are prepared to accept so much non-European immigration. (which is pretty contriversial as you know....) It fills the demographic gap and the immigrant families continue to have lots of children for a couple of generations.

Perhaps this is being blown out of proportion in relation to Russia though, and it is not a bigger problem in Russia than in many other European countries. Maybe I got the wrong end of a stick.

And isn't it ironic that China which is a neoighbour of Russia's has the opposite problem?
