It would be nice to see more in-depth root cause analyses of the fertility issues that many nations like Japan are facing. It's obvious there are a lot of causal factors of various weights, but it's difficult to see which ones have the greatest effect as well as which ones we would be able to improve the easiest. Too often all of these issues seem to just be hand-waved as "something that just happens", with few groups actually working to apply the scientific method in order to improve the situation.
- Nasrudith 8y agoI think some of it is economics - having children is more K-strategy, more expenses and attention called for - and people don't need children for social security. Compare to say third world farm families where the marginal cost of children is low and there are more gains.
