What causes fertility rates? What causes some nations to have low fertility?
And?
>What causes some nations to have low fertility?Urbanization and switching extended families in generational households for nuclear families.
>>18036908It's density. You just explained it a dumb way.Female education does nothing and many nations which banned female education, and have high density, have low fertility. Density is decisive.
>>18036885Your brain is obviously destroyed from consumption of grains, oxalates etc like all Americans.
Houses being so expensive that young people can't become fully adults until they are like 40.Making people more infantile. In the past a person with 18 was considered an adult and many was starting to find a woman to marry and have children. Nowadays an 18 person is looked like a teenager still, studying and having fun.Those are 2 of the many reasons.
>>18036885>What causes some nations to have low fertility?Birth control. Easily accessible cheap effective birth control = less kids
>>18036885Women and job
>>18036885>What causes fertility rates? What causes some nations to have low fertility?The actual real answer is ecology. Humans will breed to "fill their container" and humans will breed to "offset mortality". If there's any problem with either of these things humans will not breed. If there's too many people and not enough "perceived territory to expand in"; humans will not only not breed, but they can become antinatalist and will be more comfortable with things like abortion (a lot of extreme examples exist in Polynesian island cultures). If humans are living a very long time, and they're highly confident their children won't die, this will also lower fertility, but humans will still at least replace themselves. Fertility is frustrating because under objective scrutiny it's one of the few things the rodent, not even the ape, but the rodent portion of our brain is still largely in charge of. We do not *consciously dictate our fertility: environmental factors are perceived, are subconsciously taken into account, and our instincts drive us to either pullback or capitalize on them in an appropriate manner. *I mean in terms of populations/demographics. Individuals obviously make choices, but fertility is dictated by subconscious group-instinct.
>>18036981It's density.
>>18036885>>18036916>>18036983It's not density, there are a myriad of examples that prove otherwise. Here's just one: Luxembourg has half the population density of its closeby neighbours flanders and the netherlands, and much lower fertility rates. China is massive and has fertility rates below 1.It is what I can only describe as a generic "progress". The more people have the option to live a full and well-off life (i.e. earning enough money, having a pension, social security...), the fewer kids they will have. In other words, people so far have only had kids out of necessity (them economic contributors to the household and the closest thing to a 401k 100 years ago). The moment the option of not doing this became feasible, people chose it
>>18036916>and many nations which banned female educationWhat nations are these? Because it's not banned even is supposedly fundamentalist Islamic nations like Saudi Arbia and Iran.
>>18037359Your example is just wrong.>>18037385There's lots. https://github.com/ingrahammark7/test/blob/8d574be9428afc95547322010f2ac6ea51de1147/tools/Misc/correl.py#L49
>>18037396Luxembourg: 250ish people per km^2 - fertility rate 1.25Wallonia: 220ish people per km^2 - fertility rate 1.50Flanders: 500ish people per km^2 - fertility rate 1.47Netherlands: 550ish people per km^2 - fertility rate 1.43 I specifically took these examples since the cultural differences between these are negligible, and the geography between wallonia and luxembourg is the same, just so you don't start making any excuses as to why the fertility rate isn't correlated to density in these examples
>>18037415>The sparsest area has highest fertility >The densest has the second lowest >The outlier is a tax haven full of boomersYes
>>18037420And here come the excuses...
>>18037405>rainfal per capita predicts fertility the bestTop kek
>>18037420>highest gdp per capita has the lowest fertility rate>second highest gdp per capita has the second lowest fertility rate>third highest gdp per capita has the third lowest fertility rate>lowest gdp per capita has the highest fertility rateAmazing, and I didn't even need to invent a reason as to why one of them doesn't fit
>>18037432You've done well jidf. Gdp it is. As always you've already derailed the thread, there is nothing to discuss. You've won. You're Victorious. Like Victoria Justice. Surely, whatever the fuck you are spamming, whatever it is- you're right. You've won.
>>18037447My brother in Crhist, if you're gonna throw your hands up in the air the moment someone has a differing opinion from you, then reddit is a better place for you

>>18037554Dumbass.
>>18037576All the nations listed.
