Hell, Cuba has a p low birth rate right now, and a part of that is because of the embargo making life genuinely difficult for millions of cubans but it does kinda show that a low birth rate is just inevitable in a developed, stable society where women have rights
a low birth rate is just inevitable in a developed, stable society where women have rights
i think in a semi-utopian society with no scarcity, where potential ecological disasters have been avoided or mitigated, and where children are raised communally, birth rates would be higher (but still lower than the early 1900s in the west / late 1900s in the global south)
i do agree that low birthrates in themselves are not bad though
