White people are on average will have more socioeconomic freedom, so less reasons to walk around in a band or associate with anyone for survival value. This naturally leads to drop in birth rate.
Poor people have more reasons to band together, pool their money to afford nicer things. And they've more reproductive pressure because of this reasons, so they are bound to grow population wise. This is seen nearly everywhere even in places where there are no good social weflare programs like India.
It's a curse that comes with freedom, individualism and prosperity - you've end up with no reasons to reproduce or find it very difficult to associate with someone because it seems so limiting.

South India is actually rapidly ageing. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/personal-finance-news/will-india-get-old-before-it-gets-rich/articleshow/73868172.cms?from=mdr https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/personal-finance...
- econcon 6y agoOfc, I am aware of it - I am only comparing poor Vs rich. Privileged Vs underprivileged. Not comparing countries with other countries.
- mech422 6y agoIf you can find a way to have nicer things by having more (expensive) children, I'm sure the world would love to hear it... I've heard of having children described as a 'profitable' venture.
- econcon 6y agoIf having kids is profitable or not is open debate. Most people I know would love to have kids but they don't want to have them with a wrong person. And what is considered "wrong" have changed over time. Many people want to have kids on their own terms, not the terms of their partner. They want to have zero compromise in personal freedom - so they don't takers for that offer resulting in them not having any kids.
- mech422 6y agoblah - that was supposed to be "I've never heard.." Basically, I was questioning how people banding together 'to get nicer things', would result in people having more children. Having children is generally not a profitable venture..
