Almost a million more deaths than births were recorded in Japan last year, representing the steepest annual population decline since government surveys began...
This has been going on in Japan and most of the West for decades.
Japan recorded 686,061 births - the lowest number since records began in 1899 - while nearly 1.6 million people died, meaning for every baby born, more than two people died.That said, the good news is that in the Dutch province of Limburg there's a bit of a baby boom:
Two houses in Weert for a Somali asylum-family with fifteen children: finding a home for large families is a hellish task for municipalities.Indeed. As any young newlyweds who've tried to find a fifteen-bedroom studio apartment can tell you, it isn't easy. Fortunately, as the second half of that headline informs us, it's no longer your problem, at least if you're an "asylum-family". The Dutch state will provide two houses for you, free of charge.
The Japanese are among the smartest people on the planet - average IQ 106. The Somalis are among the dumbest - average IQ 67.7. Yet being super-clever isn't preventing the Japs from Darwin Award-level self-extinction, while the Somalis are smart enough to fleece Dutch taxpayers for the costs of their fifteen inbred moronic kids. Yes, I'm aware there are persons who dispute the reliability of national IQ measurements, and I'm not unsympathetic: it might be more useful to develop an IQ test that's also capable of measuring the survival instinct.
At any rate, hands up if you'd like a Somali flying your 'plane? Or taking your appendix out? Or making a passable Hollandaise sauce for the eggs Benedict at your favourite upscale Minneapolis brunch spot?
Tough. 'Cause on the fifteen-kid two-house model you're not going to have any choice in the matter.
