BERLIN—Are Germans an endangered species?
Stunning as it may seem, a steep decline in the German population since 1972 and fears the trend will gain pace have led demographers to warn of unsettling consequences.
The number of Germans has declined by 3.2 million—the population of Berlin—over the last 30 years but demographers’ concerns have mostly been ignored until now in a country scarred by the Nazis’ nefarious procreation pressures.
German leaders have now lifted the birth rate to the top of the political agenda for the first time since the Nazi era, and the two ruling parties are trying to outdo each other with pro-family measures.
“Germans are at risk of dying out if the trend continues,” said Harald Michel, managing director of the Institute for Applied Demography. He fears the German population could shrink from 75 million to 50 million by 2050 and further after that.
“The birth rates have been below the replacement rate for 35 years—a lethal development,” he added. “Germans could become an ‘endangered people.’ It’s hypothetical now but we may have to think about ‘the last German’ at some point. The problem is compounded each generation. Children not born 30 years ago obviously aren’t there to have children now.”
Germans have long had one of the lowest birth rates in the European Union at 1.3 children per woman—far below the “replacement rate” of 2.1 needed to keep the population stable and about half the rate of 40 years ago.
More than 30 percent of east and west Germans born from 1960 to 1967 will remain childless. Among Germans with higher education, the childless rate is even higher at 38 percent.
“Each generation is being reduced by about a third,” said Norbert Walter, chief economist at Deutsche Bank.

Low birth rates plague other nations like Italy, Russia and Japan where the Yomiuri daily said last month that the average number of children a woman bears in her lifetime fell to a record low in 2005.
But demographers say Germany is worse off because the problem has been ignored for so long. In other leading industrial nations like the United States, Britain and France, birth rates are much closer to the replacement rate.
“Why did we show so little interest the last 40 years as we went from a republic rich with children to one with a children shortage?” ex-Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder asked last year.
Now, interest has revived. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government—formed late last year—recently agreed to give new mothers generous one-year wage replacement subsidies. Plans to eliminate fees for kindergarten are also being floated.
“It’s the first time since 1945 that a German government has come out of the closet about population policy,” wrote the Berliner Zeitung newspaper. “Family policy is suddenly chic.”
Despite state financial support of 150 billion euros ($180 billion) a year for child support programs including monthly subsidies of 154 euros per child, many Germans are reluctant to start families due to a generally frosty attitude to children.
Parents with young children are often made to feel unwelcome in restaurants, employers rarely make arrangements for workers with small children, preschool care in some places is hard to find and fees far exceed costs for university. Many schools also close at noon, making it difficult for working parents.

Thats the real holocaust my friends. The jews have demoralized the once great Germany to the point of extinction. When will Germany wake up and feel no remorse about the lies of the kikes and the holohoax!
The desire to remain racially pure is a proof of the vitality and good health of a race. -Adolf Hitler
Every so often this little chestnut rears its head.
The German population and the population of any other northern European country is not in danger of extinction despite the irresponsible scare-mongering.More poulation loss was suffered during the 30 Years` War and Germany still survived and grew.
Populations over centuries go up and down and the current population level is still higher than any previous century,apart from the close of the 20th.
What you are witnessing is the inevitable ageing of the post war population when birth rates were higher than usual.
Given time,even without any government intervention the birth rate will again match or exceed the death rate as the population becomes younger after the present middle aged generation has died away.
What we need to focus on is not worrying about our actual size as a race-we have never been as numerous as we are now despite lower birth rates,but concentrate on measures to safeguard our racial purity and to improve the quality of the racial stock.
Miscegenation and not low birth rates is the real problem.Harping on about birth rates dilutes and confuses the argument.Regardless of how many babies we have whilst there is a sizeable alien population within our lands we face a slow racial death. Who can guarantee that one`s own children will not miscegenate? Or one`s grandchildren or greatgrandchildren etc? It is inevitable unless and until we destroy the multiracial experiment.
So far the future is bleak. If you decide to have children be prepared for your genes to be miscegenated!
Also consider that high human populations especially in the industrialised world mean even greater demands upon the earth`s finite resources and further spoilation of the earth. This planet is a part of us-we do not own it but hold it in trust for our descendants and ancestors.

I don`t think that we can or should blame the jews for all of our own mistakes.
Birth rates are lower due to socio-economic reasons and materialistic ways of viewing the world.I also feel that this is a "non-problem".

On what basis are you abusing the rules of this forum by referring to me as a "kike"?
Is it because I do not attribute every one of our problems to the jews in typical psychotic fashion?
Or is it because I see our problem as one of inevitable race-mixing brought about by the advent of multiculturalism from the USA?

Over 90% of your posts are divisive crap. The people of Germany through some hole in their Jewish totalitarian system, make a step forward, and you come in and criticize it as not being good enough for you, make a one star rating on the thread, then belittle it as a "non problem".
If it walks like a hen, peeps like a hen, farts like a hen... then, it's probably a hen.
Get it... KIKE???

Either someone else is using your account or you appear to be experiencing some kind of public breakdown?
It is typically of the more unthinking type of poster to label everyone who does not think exactly as they do on this forum as either a "kike","faggot" or "faggot kike"[and various other schoolyard name calling variations].
How about doing something radical? How about engaging in debate?
It is much harder to put forward one`s own opinions and state one`s reasoning than it is to insult someone 5,000 miles away isn`t it?
The "Germany" that you are referring to is a ZOG state,an appendage of the jew`s whore,the USA. Whatever destroys the ZOG state in either Germany and England has my blessing and support. Do not think for one minute that the German state is at all concerned with increasing the actual GERMAN population.It merely requires yet more wage slaves to prop up the rotten system.This is merely a pretext for opening the flood gates to yet more Untermenschen.
The real problem in case you didn`t know is multiracialism-not population size.
Try reading between the lines instead of taking the press at its face value! The media is owned by the jews don`t you know?

Unwittingly, this throroughly jewed article admits what we all know:
HITLER WAS RIGHT!!!

The birth rate is a problem because like you said other races are still having children. If we don't keep up with their birth rate, they will be taking over this country by majority. Think of a future when the Mexicans have elected a President that will give them half in not all of the United States.

Aryan Lord is right about the German government. Governments of Europe, Germany included, do not care about the actual ETHNICITY of their populations- if Turks have to replace Germans, they could care less so long as they fill the jobs that need to be done and pay taxes to keep the social programs running. Look at the world bank's solution to Russia's population problem- get more immigrants. The idea of increasing the RUSSIAN population is immaterial to the establishment- all they care about, all they can even conceive, is the idea of economics.
Hey morons!! BAN ME!!!
