What a transparent ruse. It is selfish, because one won't share them with the priests?

Quote:The study, published in the Lancet, followed trends in every country from 1950 to 2017.
In 1950, women were having an average of 4.7 children in their lifetime. The fertility rate all but halved to 2.4 children per woman by last year.

But that masks huge variation between nations.

The fertility rate in Niger, west Africa, is 7.1, but in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus women are having one child, on average.

Advanced economies are seeing almost universal decline whereas it’s the opposite for LEDCs.

Its true here in portugal. The birthrate is very low and the population is ageing according to our statistic institute.

Declined birthrate - AND - EVER INCREASING POPULATION.

You didn't bother to read the articles.

The long and short is this - populations in underdeveloped areas breed to exploit those areas (and, to an extent, because there just isn't much else to do..lelz).   Populations in developed areas have no need to do so, and gain nothing by increased breeding.  We spontaneously self control, and the number of kids we actually have is almost entirely determined by how many we want.  So, while it may seem counterintuitive, handing out condoms in africa..for example..doesn't actually produce the sort of effect we might desire.  It's a good idea, it slows the spread of infection (which increases survival rates.........which contributes to pop growth) - but if we really wanted to axe pop growth globally..we would pour money into the development of third world countries and accept every immigrant flooding in to first world countries.  

This works on two noted trends.  The profoundly low fertility rates in developed nations (and thus the need for immigrant labor, lol)...and the tendency of immigrants to naturalize with respect to their new home (even down to fertility rates) within a few generations at most.

Employment, the data suggests..is the most effective form of population control, lol.

It's an inciteful post. Just not sure why the lol at the end.

It's selfish, because it's less children for them to fuck in their mouths and asses.

And how does the good pope feel about being selfish?  If he isn't against promoting his own values, why would he think anyone would refraining from doing the same for theirs?  I don't trust him enough to let him suck my balls though.

It sort of comes out of left field, you know?  In the absence of studies like these, if we were sitting here thinking of a way to decrease fertility rates or curb population growth, full employment and open borders doesn't spring to mind as the obvious choice with the most intuitive correlation.

It's an interesting idea and one that I haven't heard before. It's also sort of right there in front of your face and yet not correlation doesn't immediately spring to mind. I'm not sure that it would make a huge difference overall. I suspect most people would still want to stay where they were born though.

Sure, and immigration only tackles the fertility rate of the emigres.  Development strongly correlates with that effect at home.
