GERMANY IS OVER (Level 1)

Germany has a big problem. There are too many old people and not enough babies. Women in Germany have about 1.4 children. This means the population is getting smaller and older. Soon, millions of older people will stop working. They will need money from the government to live. But there are not enough young workers to pay the taxes for this money. Young people in Germany have a hard time. They pay very high taxes. Houses are too expensive to buy or rent. Because of this, many young people do not want to have children. This makes the population problem worse. Some people think that people moving from other countries can fix this. But this only helps for a short time. Germany must change how it spends money. It needs to help young families more. If not, the country will not have enough money to help its people in the future.
