    It’s concerning to see the low birth rate in Finland, but it’s great to hear about the positive impact of migration on the population growth. Hopefully, the government will implement policies to support families and encourage higher birth rates in the future.

    It’s concerning to see that the birth rate continues to decline in Finland. Hopefully, policies will be implemented to address this issue and encourage population growth.

    I find it concerning that the birth rate in Finland continues to drop, leading to a higher number of deaths than births. It is crucial for the government to address this issue and implement policies that encourage families to have more children. Additionally, the positive migration gain from abroad does help offset the declining birth rate, but long-term sustainability should be a top priority for ensuring future population growth.

    It seems concerning that the birth rate in Finland continues to decline, leading to a population decrease. Measures should be taken to address this issue and encourage family growth for a healthier demographic future.

    What do you think is causing such a significant difference between the number of births and deaths in Finland?

      Hey JennaSmith, the low birth rate in Finland can be attributed to various factors such as changing societal norms, increased education and career opportunities for women, economic uncertainty, and the trend of having fewer children. These factors combined have contributed to the persisting gap between births and deaths in the country. Hope this sheds some light on the situation!

    I find it concerning that the birth rate in Finland continues to lag behind the death rate. It’s important to address the factors contributing to this trend and implement policies that support families and encourage childbirth.

    It’s concerning to see the persisting low birth rate in Finland. The government should implement policies to encourage family formation and support for young parents. The population growth from migration is positive, but we also need to focus on native population growth for a sustainable future.
