How does Africa have such a high fertility rate when it’s collapsing everywhere else in the world?
Through their high mortality rate. When pressured, each and every species compensates by having more offspring so that at least some will be left to create the next generation. In short: too many children survive childhood in the rest of the world to cause the pressure neccesary to keep a healthy reproduction rate.

>>77705754What does this mean for the West then?
>>77706120That despite all the yammering about immigration its going to be the only thing keeping the population from crashing. You already see this when you look at places like Japan and Russia, where the refusal to replenish from outside populations puts an ever-growing strain on the work force. COVID was supposed to cause a similar population reduction (and with it reproductive pressure) as the black plague did back in the middle ages, but modern medicine (and a bunch of luck (good or bad, depends on your perspective) on how the virus mutated) prevented nature from doing what it normally does in response to overly high survival rates.

Africa's high feetility rate is a result of external pressures pushing on the continent. Medicine, food and constant replenishment of resources from giving nations all over the world has allowed negroes to multiple like no tomorrow. Take away the help and Africa shrinks>>77705754I will knew /trash/ attracted the 'well acktually' crowd.
>>77706295>the only thing keeping the population from crashingRetard. That "solution" is only a temporary bandaid, and not a very good one, that will eventually fall off. Actually it's mostly fallen off since the beginning of its inception. How the hell are some people concerned over population crashes? Boomers might be concerned, but they've got everything coming for them. No the population crashing is only a small issue with vast benefits for places like Japan. More resources and space, for those coming later, is a good thing.
>>77710831Oh it's a natural correction, but its going to suck heavily. Kinda like having a bout of diarrhea. It's ruin and rebuild. And you and I are going to be in the middle of that ruin bit. So unless our governments start cloning, or harvesting seed and ovums to vatgrow babies yesterday, we are going to need more hands to keep the economy running.
>>77710130>I will knew /trash/ attracted the 'well acktually' crowd.Something tells me /trash/ has one of the highest average IQs on 4chan. It just almost never gets the chance to show it.
>>77705584Africa's fertility rate is dropping too. Humanity just doesn't want to make kids anymore.
>>77710130>medicine,foodthese are the only things keeping the reproduction rate down as it is doing the same to 1st world countries.You think we would still keep have low reproduction rates in the U.S for example if child mortality rate was as high as in central Africa? retarded faggot
>>77714503>Humanity just doesn't want to make kids anymore.Let's hope to revert that trend.
>>77713784I've seen the so called "intelligence" of /trash/ multiple times and its not impressive. >>77714978If you're going to be insinuating certain medicine and food as benefits to lower reproduction rates then spit it out. Otherwise, you're retarded for making the gesture that those are the primary reasons for lower reproduction rates. Africa's reproduction rates are far higher than any other western nation, because niggers are not capable of civilization. North africa
>>77718251Did you eat the rest of your reply, Amerilard?
>>77718564No :(I was just busy and forgot to finish what I was about to say at the end. North Africa doesn't apply to any of this conversation.
>>77705754This. They aren't more fertile. They're as fertile as anyone else. They just have to have more children to survive.
>>77719958>They aren't more fertile. They're as fertile as anyone elseI don't think anyone has made that argument here>They just have to have more children to survive.>surviveNo
