... definitely not from births. Bottom line: 2022 looks like it is a pretty big decrease from trend in natural population growth in Netherlands, but there have been many larger variations in the past. This ends a run of positive natural population growth which began in about 1998.
This is a follow-up on an from
The source article here comes directly from , the Netherlands national statistics office. The spin is that the (((population is growing!))). "Asia," and, "Europe," are the leading regions for immigrés named Mohammad. They do give some gentle treatment to the fact that more people died than were born. This is shocking because the net is negative, but it is not shocking when evaluated against the trend . It has never dipped below zero, but they are at that point in the trend where below zero was going to happen.
I remain cautiously pessimistic.
It would be interesting to see what % of the immigrants took the Jab. Which has caused many breeding defects in those that did.
I bet if you go digging in this website you will find covid vaccine equity data. Give it a go!
From the good people in the national statistics office:
In addition, 44 percent said they agreed with the statement ‘For most people, life is getting worse rather than better’, down from 35 percent in 2018. With the statement ‘The future looks hopeful as things stand now’, 39 percent disagreed. In 2018, this was 26 percent.
This ends a run of positive natural population growth which began in about 1998.
Clarification: Since 1998 natural population growth was above trend but the overall trend is declining. Positive, yes, by less and less so. This it the first negative contractionary point in the online record since 1950, but not the first below-trend example. Still not good news.
There was a zero before, and from the language in the article I will not be surprised if they round it to zero in the final print.
