Somali fertility rates dropping FAST

[Ya.dhahay]

In Finland the somali fertility rate fell faster than among native finns.

Similar trend in Norway, massive decrease within a year

Majority of somalis in the west (including newer fobs) will most likely have 2 kids on average, maybe even less in more ’liberal’ countries like scandinavian ones..

Even in Sweden they’re noticing a similar trend, second-generation immigrants who are somali are putting off marriage until they have a degree and a stable job, for many this will not be a reality until they’re atleast in their mid/late 20s.

Finally. Somalis don't suite having so many children. You have to be financially stable and look after and follow up all your children so not a single one go loose which Somali parents failed in doing.

Don't have kids if your gonna struggle to provide for them. Make sure the ones you have are succeeding in life before popping out next batch

This a normal trend not specific to somalis, of course it will drop.
Take this as good or bad news,
Also its a bit unfair to make the comparison with swedes, their TFR is already at replacement level.
Also somalis were just 1st generation in the 2010s and 2000s, now the people born there are more integrated and realize they cant have too many children, maybe economic reasons, cultural.

Great news. Tired of seeing huge families where everyone is poor and working class. Time for smaller middle class families to rise.

Good, giving birth to too many children counts as child abuse.
