German birth rate surges to highest level in over four decades
In 2016 a total of 792,131 children were born in Germany, the Federal Statistics Office confirmed on Wednesday. That number was a seven percent increase from 2015 when 737,575 newborns were registered.

It also pushed up the birth rate to 1.59 children per woman, a level not seen since 1973. In 2015 the birth rate lay somewhat lower at 1.5 children per woman.

While births among German mothers rose moderately, a dramatic rise in the birth rate was recorded among women who do not hold German citizenship.

At 607,500 births, some three percent more babies were born to German women in 2016 than in the previous year. Meanwhile the number of births in German hospitals to non-German mothers shot up by 25 percent to 184,660.

The birth rate among German women rose from 1.43 children per woman to 1.46. Among foreign women the birth rate rose from 1.95 to 2.28.

With close to 800,000 children born in 2016, the total number of births also reached a number last seen in 1996.

But the boosted birth rate still puts Germany below the European average, which stands at 1.6 children per woman. France has the highest birth rate (1.92) while Spain and Italy both prop up the table with a birth rate of 1.34.

The birth rate describes how many children a woman would have if she were to get pregnant as often as all women between the ages of 15 and 19 did in the relevant year.

Higher birth rates in Germany could be good news for the country, as Destatis' population projections see the ratio of working-age people to over-65s falling to just two to one by 2060, compared with around three to one

in 2015.

The Bundesbank central bank last year warned that a wave of retirement among the post-war baby boomer generation could begin sapping economic growth from the middle of next decade, as there will be fewer young workers to replace them.

But higher birth rates among migrant women could amplify the political aftershocks of the asylum seeker influx, which propelled anti-Islam party Alternative for Germany (AfD) into parliament for the first time at last September's elections.

The argument about ‘aging workforce’ is pure propaganda to encourage immigration to suppress wages. An aging workforce self corrects in a maximum of one generation. Insisting the population must continually increase for economic benefit is idiocy and guarantees our own destruction. How about simply planning for a decreasing population? Is it really that terrible to have a few less Walmart’s?

I see the different side of the coin.

A large number of the newborns are from the families of refuges who are muslins. Muslins harbor very strong faith. They don't eat pork, don't marry with other non-muslin German. Their children are born muslins. Unlike Turks who are from a secular country, most of them in Germany don't have very strong Islamic faith, while the refuges from other nations of the Middle East are more loyal to their faith.

If a German falls in love with a Muslin, s/he must convert. They will assimilate rather than being assimilated.

As the increasing muslin population in Germany, they would demand more political, religious rights as the majority in the future.

I can foresee turbulant changes, and conflicts within 40 years / two generations in Germany.

The Islamo Germanic superpower will destabilize the world. The adherents of this policy are boasting themselves to be humanitarians and anti racists but the Islamic German alliance was first developed during the Third Reich. They are natural alies on many fields.

Yup, sounds like migrant Muslim women having a bunch of kids. Meanwhile, the German-born population continues to shrink. I see no civil unrest in the future from that stat, no sir.

Oh noes!!! The Mozzies are going to outbreed the white folk!!!

The birth rates go up because they are the same birthrates that they had in their previous country, but once they become 2nd generation, guess what? Their birthrate becomes the same as the rest of your population.

Your Islamophobia is annoying and childish, while not being based in fucking reality. :knife: :knife: :knife:

@Oxymoron

Are you kidding? This is what the Nazis want.

"The peoples of Islam will always be closer to us than, for example, France". -Hitler

And I agree, France was always a shithole even before the refugees.

Hell they convince Hitler to kill all Jews: http://theconversation.com/netanyahu-th ... ight-49617
