Why do poor countries have higher birthrates?
Why have birthrates gone down as countries have gotten richer? Like China, and Korea.
Why, in the same country, and in the same ethnic group, do poor people have higher birthrates?
Here’s what I figure. You wont be able to answer these questions. And youre wrong when you say its all about money.
It is about the money.
As countries develop economically women become “independent” which means they can make their own money and not get stuck “back on the farm” barefoot and pregnant.
Farmers need kids to work on the farm—so they are an asset there.
If you pay women enough they will have children. Nobody has gotten radical about it—yet.
It’s called demographic transition; nations going from underdeveloped, agrarian poor societies to modern industrial urban ones. It’s a necessary change to improve your quality of living, but it’s also self genocide
