Mikhail Ivanov, a deputy of the Bryansk regional Duma and leader of the Rossiya Pravoslavnaya movement, has proposed limiting nighttime Internet access to increase the birth rate among young families. According to him, Internet addiction is one of the main factors threatening Russia's demography. Therefore, Ivanov proposed limiting Internet access for young families from 11:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Last year, a record 730,000 babies were born in Japan, while the number of deaths in the same period was 1.58 million, breaking the record. The number of foreigners in the country also exceeded 3 million for the first time, making up about 3% of the total population. Polls show that young Japanese are increasingly reluctant to marry or have children.
