The declining birth rates in Austria and worldwide have significant impacts on the labor market, the social system, and society.

Women who do not see children as part of their life plan are taking on an increasingly important role.

In many countries, a decline in fertility is observed.

The question is, how Austria could look like in 2050 if this development continues.

An interesting example of how society could change is offered by the Japanese exhibition at the latest Biennale in Venice, where remarkably realistic dolls were presented as newborns.
