Okay the argument is that the lack of social safety nets and childcare causes a decline in birth rates. Right?
Your argument is that the transition from socialism to capitalism is directly linked to a drop in birth rates? I assume in this particular case you mean the loss of free childcare and social safety nets leads women to avoid having children?
So, in capitalist countries where there is subsidised/ free childcare and more developed safety nets should correspond to an increase in birth rates?
And to expand on that, socialist countries such as China and Cuba should show an increase in birth rates. An i getting this right or am I missing your point
Maybe if the whole world became equally stratified, at this point is makes far more sense to import workers at the start of their working lives who have already been taught to read and write. Simply provide high enough living standards to compensate for the loss of friends and family and you can get a healthy individual where the capital has already been spent and put them to work
You're the one who connected falling birth rates to safety nets, childcare and community. I was simply providing evidence that those things don't necessarily translate to an increase in birth rates as might be expected
I was talking about Sweden, Finland and Canada. Not saying they are prefect, but i am saying that an increase in rights doesn't correspond to an increase in fertility
Plenty of countries have worked hard to provide those things and still have declining birth rates. This take, ignores a lot of the agency that women have won through feminist activism
Well, hydro is just spinning water again, wind is spinning air. Solar is stealing electrons from the sun (i think?) So that's cool
