What charts?
- H8crilA 6y agoFertility/birth rates. A reminder - one child policy was introduced in 1979 and repelled in 2015, neither of those dates had any visible effect: Fertility rate: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNTFRTINCHN https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNTFRTINCHN Birth rate: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNCBRTINCHN https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNCBRTINCHN And it is not like the Chinese govt didn't try, they were serious about it.
