      Europe was the poorest region on earth for 1000s of years due to a lack of resources and a bad climate. The Indian subcontinent and China used to be the richest regions on earth for 1000s of years till the 17th century. Then Europeans advanced in war, sea travel, and trade. This resulted in Europe acquiring huge wealth from India, parts of China, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Till the 1950s, Europe was squeezing wealth from rich regions of the world, which made Europeans richer. Now that Europeans had huge wealth, they started celebrating their life. This continued for 60 years. But now with India, China, and other Asian powers back to their dominance, Europe is losing in all sectors of the world economy. European governments tried to save the European economy by bringing wealth from Asia by offering easy immigration, but that was not easy due to cultural conflicts. It would take a few more decades for Europe to transform into extreme poverty in a world dictated by Asian countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea.

      Poor people living in the villages over 60 years ago had children. It's not about money. It's about choice, expectations, and birth control. Probably the poor people who had half a dozen children back in the 1950s given the option of birth control would not have had so many children either. Children used to be an asset. Now they are an expense.

      @@gabriellakadar The agricultural workers or peasantry actually NEEDED as many children as possible to help them work in the fields to earn their incomes, as such, children are seen as a net benefit to the family not a COST as they are seen in cities for a working class population.
      60 years ago lack of access to abortions, limited birth control and arranged (sometimes forced) marriages were serious issues facing women.
      Not to mention that the post WWII world was actually booming, especially in the West, so families who lives in cities could afford children and the economic future seemed bright.

And all of this after 15 years of looting the Greeks with taxes, low cost labour and sell outs of public property (airports, public businesses, harbours, natural resources, etc).

They didn't have almost any money, that's true. But they had freedom and a community supporting them. Most of the houses back then were build by family and relatives. Most had a piece of land and some animals to sustain themselves. And as a cherry on top, at my grandparent's village they had a tradition of caring for the elders and unable to work. The did that by Gothenburg the strongest men of the village and have them working on fields dedicated to the community with extra hours of work.

    If Greece hadn't joined the Euro, these problems would be easier to handle. The advantages of the Euro included a common pricing system, and greater convenience caused by not needing to exchange currency. The weakness was that countries like Greece were exposed to extreme booms and busts. German investors were attracted to what looked like real growth in southern Europe. But it was a speculative BUBBLE. Greece found that when the bubble burst, they were no longer allowed to devalue the Euro. Even worse, Euro bonds did not exist. So Greece had no choice but to injure itself for years in order to balance the books. If Greece had kept the drachma, problems would not be this bad.

      In the soviet period there were negative social stigmas that discouraged women from taking up smoking, because it was considered a masculine vice and unladylike for women to smoke cigarettes. Most soviet working men were habitual smokers, so the lung cancer rate for men who came of age during the Soviet Union is way higher then women..
      Russian men also took on more dangerous jobs and were regularly exposed to hazardous chemicals. Then there was rampant alcoholism.
      The gender imbalance is also because of ww2 and the soviet Afghan war.
      When the USSR collapsed the soviet people became impoverished overnight and had to suddenly adapt to living under a new more stressful system for the first time in their lives. it took a heavier emotional toll on older working men who had to provide for their families in great depression era type conditions, men from that period died in droves from heart attacks, suicide and stress induced sickness.

    This is not really a surprise for anyone familiar with greek economy. A manufactured crisis, 10+ years of austerity made the working class disappear, shrinked the so-callled middle class. Greece has no industry , really, apart from tourism. People are leaving for abroad. Tourism works as a cash cow for the mafia controlled islands like Mykonos and Santorini. As time goes by, the number of greeks that can afford a vacation is decreasing on an important rate. Rural areas and villages are also being abandoned. No one has an economic benefit to live on a village anymore since farming for example does not bring revenue. Immigrants, who Greece chased and demonised so much in the last few years also don't want to build a life here. Those who do come, want to leave instantly since the big cities do not offer humane conditions and hope for a new life. As for the life in Athens? rent crisis, traffic issues, basically no parks or green in general and the salaries are not that good even for well-paid professions when compared to other EU members.

    Ridiculous!! The EU has opened its borders so of course young people from places like Greece or Italy whose countries don’t have a lot of good paying jobs are going to go to places like Germany and other places in Europe that have more jobs and pay better. Obviously, the open borders are part of the problem. Brining in millions of immigrants is not going to fix the problem especially if they have different cultural and religious norms. It’s just going to cause problems. Maybe if European countries were actually vetting the immigrants to see how they would be a net positive to the countries but they are not. They are just letting anyone come in. This will destroy Europe in the future.

    May I also remind you of the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions.
    Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shockingly sad truth. 😔
    In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners Native American people.

      By the time the second group of Europeans arrived. There were only 5 million remaining. Meaning 110 Million died in the original "First Contact" event featuring Cristofo Colombo, Hernando De Soto, etc. a minority died through war, the majority died through disease.
      But that event created the specific context for which all of the succeeding events to take place.

I hope some of the Greeks who left when young will return to retire in their home villages or areas, that should provide some jobs to struggling communities.

    The causes of this decline is not only financial. The last year that fertility rate was 2.1 was in 1982. Since 1986 it collapsed and remained below 1.4-1.5 during 90's and 2000's where we had economical stability and grow. There are numerous reasons for people not having kids. Its a matter of values, choices, perspective of life, the relationchips have changed and the roll of the woman in the society. The minister is an exaple. She doesn't have kids by choice (and she is ahead of that ministry...). Scandinavian countries despite having a strong social state and are financially strong they have a low fertility rate too. With very few exceptions all the countries of the developed world face the same problem in one way or another.
