Kids are a retirement strategy in poorer countries, they are the opposite in richer ones.
In which country?
Retirement strategy?
China, India, Syria...
China? Country with oneof the lowest birth rates for a developed economy?
India? With barely replacement rate
Today, the average Indian woman is expected to have 2.0 children in her lifetime, a fertility rate that is higher than China’s (1.2) or the United States’ (1.6),
Syria that has been a global battle ground without functioning healthcare system?
I doubt any body deciding much about anything about family planning and they sure as fuck ain't worried about retirement.
Are you reposting some idea I heard in 2005 in 2024?
Why the fuck would China or India need to meet replacement rates? They're the most overpopulated places on Earth. This is called progress.
