Given the White House wants U.S. women to have more babies, my talk “Rethinking Population” from 2014 seems particularly relevant.

The key theme is that all around the world, women with an education, the ability to enter the workforce & access to healthcare & medicine choose to have fewer children.

Where do fertility rates remain high? In places where child mortality is high, health conditions are poor & women don’t have as much autonomy & opportunity. #uspol #Trump

That has been known for as long as there has been a science of demographics. Remember reading about it back in the 1960s, in books from the 1950s.

@martinvermeer well yes and no. This talk is broadly about the social factors some early population models missed.

All these incel shitheads yelling about birth rates can have all the seats. Women are not public property. Our bodies belong to us. We are autonomous people who decide what we are or are not doing. Being enslaved by marriage, patriarchy, and religion isn't something every woman chooses. Some have goals and dreams that have nothing to do with having children, a spouse, or being part of the pta.
Some women do other things.

why do you think the 2 sides : "education" and "fewer babies" are correlated?

millions of ambitious families with children wanting to come to the US willing to work cheap, pay taxes and raise their children. And yet...
