And the low birth rates found in countries not in the west?
- rayiner 5y agoOvershoot from population-control mentality adopted by Asia, with the encouragement of the West, during the 20th century. I'm from Bangladesh and my dad works in international development--my parents were actually a bit put off by my wife and I having three kids. It's socialized that educated, westernized people have only 1-2 kids, and poor religious people having more is a problem to be solved.
- dwaltrip 5y agoHuh, interesting. I haven’t heard that theory before. I’ll think about that / try to read about it.
