El cambio de era demográfico: por qué debemos asumir la nueva realidad de la baja natalidad
By
José María de la Riva
Summary
The article argues that the current demographic shift — declining birth rates and aging populations — is not a temporary problem to be reversed but a fundamental paradigm change that societies must accept. It criticizes political and media discourse for clinging to outdated population pyramid models and birth incentives, asserting that low birth rates are a rational response to the high economic, labor, and personal costs of raising children in modern societies. The author calls for a realistic adaptation to this new demographic reality rather than futile attempts to reverse it.

· 4 pulledQuerer que se incremente la natalidad es un planteamiento profundamente equivocado.
Hay momentos en la historia en que la realidad avanza con más velocidad que el pensamiento político.
Las tasas de natalidad no bajan por falta de interés de las personas. Caen porque tener hijos en las sociedades modernas implica costes económicos, laborales y personales que muchas familias no pueden o no quieren asumir.
El proceso demográfico está experimentando una transformación sin comparación con etapas anteriores, un auténtico cambio de paradigma.
