imo, they're no different than a blog site that does their own research anyway to me.
i'm not sure that snopes does any research
What you get when you have an Australian style immigration system. You just get Aisan domination.
Based AI.
The idea that Africa is sophisticating at the same time that their population is exploding compared to Asia and the West is ridiculous. Its the very ignorance and lack of structure that breeds unsustainable reproduction rates, which Africa has had for the past 40 years.
Africa's population is exploding because of increased access to western medication & their birth rate remaining steady. Where in the past a majority of these kids would die from malaria before they were 5, they're now surviving in record numbers thanks to organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
And unlike many western nations & Asian nations, Africans aren't financially punished for having children
Even with high birth deaths, countries like Nigeria tripled their pop in only a few decades. If they were truly sophisticating their repro numbers would be in decline due to work and life goals, like in the West and Asia. Their cultures are still very different.
Is a negative birth rate sustainable tho?
Kinda. As the population goes down demand for labor goes up & people can afford to have children again
Things do tend to sort themselves out.
But they can't, because that takes at least one more person out of the labor force for at least a year or 2, preferably 10-15 at least. And it will take probably at least 14 years for new labor to enter the work force. So while families can afford to have children, companies can't so they will have to shrink.
It's an odd problem
Well, it's a race condition really, who can win. Jobs still around needing to be filled or new work force
But I guess life is a bit of a loop of growth followed by death
Not necessarily. Thats where jobs can be outsourced. It does create a problem in and of itself.. the jobs here become more qualified, making barriers to entry especially for the mothers who left to have children in the first place.
Life was simple when women where not allowed to work eh?
amirite
JP proven right again, we are still working out the unintended consequences of women being allowed to work
I mean, technically the state should have a stake in seeing positive or neutral birth rates. Which would consitiute taking over as the company to give a mother supplemental income. But that fucks with the market a bit. It would start to free up space for labor competition, but also basically allow companies to start at half the salary they should be offering
Hmmm, I wonder what a 100% tax break to married mother's would do?
If we want to uphold the convention of marriage and reproduction, yes. That tired old horse we keep beating. The progressives wanna move past that. Both ideas have merit but whenever you want to change something for the better, its the road paved with good intentions that leads to hell.
tax break to married mothers? Fix the black issue, no doubt.
Larry Elder would be happy.
Would go a way to helping the problem of needing to incomes to support a family.
Two*
The problem with marriage was two fold. 1) it was tied to religious norms, which it shouldn't have been. At least the governmental side of things, 2) it carried too much not related to reproduction.
I'm sure that would create its own discriminatory EOC for males issue and they'd end up making more money *again*
