That's why immigration is so important
- justrealist 3y agoThe third world is not an infinite factory of human flesh to patch societal issues that the developed world can't be bothered to address. Birthrates in the developing world are mostly at or below replacement already.
- themitigating 3y agoYes it is actually and birthrates in third world countries are much higher
- shjake 3y agoOnly the case in parts of Subsaharan Africa at this point. India for instance is at around 2.0 and many Latin American countries at a similar level as the US.
- chaostheory 3y agoThat doesn’t mean themitigating isn’t right. He is. The issue is that immigration isn’t a permanent solution since only central Africa isn’t suffering from the male fertility problem. Still, immigration is a needed tool to buy us time to find a solution. Right now, AI is the top contender regardless of how people feel about it
- justrealist 3y agoMale fertility is a problem, but it's not the driver of the birthrate drop in the developed world.
- chaostheory 3y agoIt is the main driver of the birth rate drop. The studies accounted for socioeconomic changes.
- themitigating 3y agoI was wrong. I didn't realize, nor would I ever think, the birthrate would go down in other countries. I checked Mexico and it's near the US. My point still stands, it's a source of new people. Like the irish and now latin Americans they fill am important role.
