      South Koreans keep having fewer and fewer babies every year. Average daily births per month since 2000. [Also, more deaths than births; and, more births in North Korea (which has half the population) for the first time ever; TFR 0.8] Headed for the endangered species list?pic.twitter.com/SgVeMoi5RO

      The situation is even worse in Seoul, where the TFR dropeed below 0.7 last year, and thus below the previous record of the lowest TFR of any metropolis (Vienna had a TFR of 0.7 in the mid 1930s).

      Part of it was the Great Depression of course, but even in the roaring late 1920s, the TFR of Vienna was just 1.1. Probably general civilization pessimism as the capital was robbed from its empire after WWI. This was probably felt much more in Vienna than in rural Austria.

          With the consequence that the pre-WWI population stock and their descendants have likely been reduced to a tiny minority by now.

          Vienna wasn't really, alone, it was just an extreme case. In many Western cities, fertility tanked to levels not seen before in the interwar period. "Miniature families" were common in Stockholm (TFR of 1.0 around 1930), Oslo (0.9), Berlin (1.1) or Geneva (1.0) as well.pic.twitter.com/1w02J9qzVr
