> developing nations have really low birth rates
Did you mean to write developed, perhaps? I'm under the impression - and a quick google confirms - that the more economically developed a country is, the lower its birth rate tends to be.
(I'm sure I'm oversimplifying. I've not studied in this area, which is why I'm replying)
- prepend 3y agoThanks. You are right. I meant developed[0]. I like to think I typed “developing” and didn’t check my autocomplete. There does seem to be a function of the more money and education for women, the lower the birth rate. Some countries are increasing immigration to compensate.
