- lotsofpulp 11mo agoEveryone can’t be in the highest income bracket.
- ChrisGreenHeur 11mo agoreading comprehension the topic is fertility collapse due to prosperity the point is, is that actually the core issue?
- nandomrumber 11mo ago2.1 is replacement. Sweden’s over all fertility rate looks to be around 1.8.

- hdgvhicv 11mo agoIs 2.1 high or low relative to the rest of Sweden?
- ChrisGreenHeur 11mo agoagain, read what the topic of conversation is
- mensetmanusman 11mo agoMaybe in that country, everywhere else in the world increases in prosperity mean fewer children.
- Zigurd 11mo agoPopulation decline is predicted or currently happening in some poor countries too. It's not a prosperity driven effect. Children don't die young anymore even in poor countries. There's just generally less pressure to spawn your own gang of supporters. Elon excepted I guess.
- mensetmanusman 11mo agoEvery poor country is dramatically wealthier than they were 70 years ago.
- mr_toad 11mo agoIt’s not a linear effect. Once you have enough money to afford family planning it’s more like a level shift.
- ChrisGreenHeur 11mo agoit is extremely linear (in Sweden)
