So.

I hear that India is getting better but lots of it is pretty shit.

Large parts of Africa are similarly underdeveloped.

Why are birth rates so high in these regions and not in more developed areas?

Like. I understand the thesis that things are pretty shit so why have kids that prevails in more developed nations - but why does that not hold true in less developed ones? Where things are arguably more shit?

because "developed nations" are filled with self-indulgent narcissistic selfish people who would understandably spend their resources, all that time and energy, for something more enjoyable than trying to breed some more self-indulgent narcissistic selfish 💩

The answer is that those regions are lesser educated and are less likely to know about or use contraceptives. Another is that many of those families hope to obtain cheap child labour in their farms and other itinerary trade. This is why the excessive birth problem is particularly pronounced in the more underdeveloped parts of these countries and not the middle to high class areas.

Wow, Asia's still ahead, I wouldn't have guessed that.

Africa has a dummy birthrate, though, and some of the big players over in the circle are at or below replacement.

I suppose this is the sort of map fear-fomenting rightwing racists would use to support their arguments about white replacement theory. It would be pretty effective. Sigh.

Hopefully reincarnation doesn't exist, so I don't have to live in Africa or India.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Were you born in India?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

They use an instance that's for a specific region, just like me. So, likely, no.
