Degrowth doesn't need to be a policy as Germany already has the lowest birth rate in the entire world.
Only mainstream party i have seen promote degrowth has been Italy's Five Star Movement but even them have abandoned these ideas nowadays. Anyway, i'm pretty sure that Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and maybe Italy's and China's birth rates are lower

A 7-1 humiliation is boring? That's totaalvoetbal for you.

Germany's birth rate is the lowest as of 2015. Japan was previously the lowest.

I wasn't into it, but I suppose some people enjoy a blowout.

No, it's not. The countries with the lowest fertility rate are Bosnia, Portugal, Taiwan and South Korea.

I'm not just making it up, I DGAF about German birth rates.

There were dozens of news articles about it last summer. Here's one from DW:

Germany has lowest birth rate in the world, study shows | News | DW.COM | 29.05.2015

If it's wrong, well good on Germany for having just the fifth lowest birth rate in the world.

@ Chompy Omega : if you are alluding to the 3. Reich, it was exactly the opposite politics : German women were encouraged to have children to the max, and growth was the order of the day, the constructionof highways, of VW "the people's car", etc. - so much so that Germany invaded other countries like today the US or ISIS. So your fearmongering shows a solid lack of historical knowledge. The 3. Reich for all its racist rhetoric even imported massively a foreign workforce in the form of POW or concentration camps inmates. Nothing new Under the sun.
