Ohio on the Decline: Like half the states in the United States, Ohio’s birth rate is on the decline. Some want to claim that this is due to “greater prosperity,” but realistically this is the result of couples feeling unable to afford children. While the average U.S. birth rate increased slightly after the pandemic, Ohio’s continued to decrease, as it has since 2007. The big picture is a nationwide trend of decreasing birth rates, which could potentially be irreversible.

On a planet that is as depleted as Earth, reducing human birth rates and populaton is a good thing.
