The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) reports that the Russian birthrate fell to the lowest in its history last year, and Russian women are now averaging 1.3 children apiece. The decline, which was "sharper than expected," suggests that Russians are looking to the future with little but "gloom," says the PRB. At the present birthrate, the population will fall from the present level of 147.5 million to 123 million by 2030--with the proportion of elderly threatening to crush pension systems.
