thank god!! its suffocating over here.
curious why do you think women have gained economic and social freedom in india?
- lotsofpulp 2y agoBecause they have? Gained doesn’t mean they are completely at par with men. But many have increased their agency relative to women in India in decades past. Many can now get an education, have their own income, live by themselves. Not all, obviously a few hundred million are still probably not close to economic freedom, but more are than before.
- apwell23 2y agosure but how did you relate that to birthrates. did you correlate any datapoints to make that hypothesis about india? like did you look up who many women voluntarily 'live by themselves' in india ?
- lotsofpulp 2y agoThe second link in my post above. Although, if you live in India, you should be able to see women in the cities with jobs that can support themselves. This was not as ubiquitous even just 40 years ago.
- apwell23 2y agoyes i live in a major city and i've never seen a woman live by herself. like not even a once. anyways i wasn't contradicting that there are more women working now ( which is not actually true ) . I was asking how you correlated that to birth rates . these two graphs aren't exactly telling the same story https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.FE.ZS?locations=IN https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.FE.ZS?locat... https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/ind/india/fertility-rate https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/ind/ind...
