    Still goes to show by forcibly dropping birthrates how much it destroys future planning.

    Looking at all the other countries, it may not have had an impact on future birthrates at all.

      Yeah true regarding birthrates… but I think it probably catapulted median age

      This website states that in 1960 median age was around 20 (comparable internationally), median age in 2025 was 42( international was 31)

      Yes, and if they didn’t have the policy in the past, then today’s birth rates would be even more devastating for the demographic
