While I agree with you that maybe people will move, and I agree that lack of hospitals increases maternal mortality, the entire history of humanity suggests that we're incredibly good at reproducing without all of that. I don't really need a study. Your existence is proof enough.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoYour argument against a rapidly falling fertility rate is that I exist? Yes, I exist, but the evidence is strong that year over year, more people are choosing not to have children and the systems that people who do have children rely on are not being supported adequately (as I've enumerated with my citations). Would you not agree with those observations? (South Korea's TFR is ~0.7, China is ~1, Japan is ~1.2, the US is not far behind at ~1.6, all 2024 figures presented)
- anon291 2y agoNo... your existence is proof that hospitals and medical care are not necessary to have a growing population. It's not proof against a rapidly falling fertility rate. How many times must I say I agree with you on some points before you'll actually engage?
