In Western countries that place a high value on equality (Europe/US) and countries with strong authoritarian governments (China). I think it's a big untested assumption to assume that what happened in Norway will happen in India and Nigeria.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoIt's already happened in India, and is well underway in Nigeria: 1. India's fertility rate decreased from 5.91 to 2.33 from 1960 to 2016. 2. Nigeria's fertility rate has decreased more slowly, but that reflects the lower state of development in Nigeria. It's moving along the same curve as all the other developing countries moved along. The countries around Nigeria that have developed further have seen the same dramatic drops in fertility rate that countries elsewhere in the world have seen. https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&ctype=b&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=s&met_x=sp_dyn_le00_in&scale_x=lin&ind_x=false&met_y=sp_dyn_tfrt_in&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&met_s=sp_pop_totl&scale_s=lin&ind_s=false&dimp_c=country:region&ifdim=country&tunit=Y&pit=-302817600000&ind=false&icfg&iconSize=0.5 https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&...
