Immigration.
Not necessarily wrong but why some countries have higher birth rates. Subsidize current citizens costs for more natural born citizens. More people/workers - immigration.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoSwitzerland has more immigrants than the USA in a per capita basis, so by that reasoning, should have a higher birth rate, not lower. Switzerland also admits plenty of immigrants from high birth rate countries (Africa, the Middle East).
- instagib 3y agoLots of fun info on the demographics between the two and many others but both are below the 2.1 replacement fertility rate. Maybe this would be a better link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate#Replacement_rates https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate#Replace... I was trying to answer to the reply and not denigrate Switzerland in any way. Expensive travel magnets though.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI think the Swiss do much better than the USA on the points OP mentioned (I lived in Lausanne for 2 years), but it still doesn’t move the needle up on birth rate, which I think is just stuck at rising wealth = fewer kids. Social spending has little effect here for some reason.
