Any modern society that wishes to survive needs to reduce the number of years that young women spend in school. Russia has already figured this out and I have little doubt that China will soon follow suit.
A senior Russian demographer has proposed cutting the number of years children must attend school in order to promote earlier parenthood and reverse a national trend towards lower fertility, TASS reports. Sergey Rybalchenko, head of the Public Chamber’s Demography Commission, has argued that bold steps are necessary to prevent Russia’s population from shrinking.
In recent years, the country has seen negative natural population growth, falling from 149 million in 1993 to 146 million in 2025 despite an influx of immigrants and the unification of the country with Crimea in 2014 and four former Ukrainian regions in 2022.
The country’s population is poised to decrease to 138.8 million people in 2046, according to the base-case scenario developed by the federal statistics agency Rosstat.
“A shorter education period would enable young people to reach adulthood and plan to have children for two years earlier,” Rybalchenko told TASS, explaining the initiative.
Getting married and having children at a higher age is linked to a longer period of social maturation, the demographer pointed out. Young people only start to think about children by the age of 27, as they spend 17 years getting an education and dedicate an additional three years to social adaptation after finishing university, he explained.
A large scale study covering 1950 to 2023 clearly showed that to reach an average Total Fertility Rate of 3.0, the average number of years schooled for young women should be 10. And anything beyond 12 is a disaster; the most societally destructive thing that the USA has done since passing the 1965 Naturalization Act is to increase the number of women in higher education.
As I have stated repeatedly before, feminism is one of the few ideologies that are more lethal and destructive than either communism or national socialism. And whichever major power recognizes this and embraces post-feminism will have a significant advantage over its rivals.
