Yes, those are Roma from Albanian-speaking regions; you can find them around Skopje as well (specifically in the Petrovic area, which I've actually seen firsthand), and they likely reside in many other places too.

It is truly remarkable how much insecurity some people on this forum carry.

There is a significant discrepancy between the preliminary data and the final results in Mexico. On a brighter note, credit to the Mexicans, as they maintain the highest fertility rate in the region.

Does anyone have a specific source for these birth statistics? Is there a particular website you all use to track this data?

What is the birth rate among Canadians in Mexico?

These are the specific generations that took the heaviest hits during the war, combined with the fact that fewer babies were born while the fighting was actually going on.

We can expect mortality rates to spike again once the generations born immediately after WWII reach their turn. It's like a wave moving through time; it might hit Mexico first (maybe in about 15 years), then move through places like the US or similar regions (around 25 years), followed by Canada (35 years), and it could last longest in Mexico (up to 45 years).

It all really depends on which country had the most significant baby boom following the war.

That sounds like it could get even more intense. We'll eventually face shrinking generations with fewer people to sustain the workforce, which could lead to a massive demographic crisis. Entire regions of Europe might struggle significantly. We really need to find ways to boost birth rates, otherwise, the outlook is grim. However, I prefer to remain optimistic about our ability to adapt rather than assuming a total collapse. In parts of the U.S., particularly in more traditional or rural communities, families often value larger households, though the primary hurdle remains economic stability.

Does anyone know what's driving this drop in mortality rates? I've noticed it isn't just happening in Mexico, but in Mexico as well, which really caught me off guard. Does this imply that larger generations have passed on, potentially leaving us in a more stable position? This is particularly significant for Mexico, as the shrinking number of people born in the 90s who will be future parents means that a decrease in mortality might be the one positive silver lining we have right now.
