- stemlord 2y agoWhat about the data would necessitate reconsideration?
- fakedang 2y agoI'd be interested in per country data for this information. Last I checked, nearly every country was at 0.75-2 tops, save for the world average being skewed heavily by some usual suspects.
- r00fus 2y agoUse the side bars to select individual countries instead of "World".
- fakedang 2y agoThanks. And yep, usual suspects. Rotw is at <1-2. Interesting to see the fall in the GCC countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc. The charts show them at ~2, even though those governments actively provide subsidies for citizens to bear more children. iirc they used to be MUCH higher. Have an Emirati friend who has 5 kids on a government job (he lives with his parents, as is expected culturally, so that obviously makes a difference).
- r00fus 2y agoThe data in fact shows the reality - when affordability was great, people had kids, when it's bad, people don't. Everything is expensive as hell these days.
