What can be done about the falling birth rates in developed nations. Why aren't any pointers being taken from other countries where birth rates are still higher
> According to the BBC, a comprehensive American study concluded in 2009 that the number of Muslims worldwide stood at about 23% of the world's population with 60% of the world's Muslims living in Asia.[305] According to the same study "globally, Muslims have the highest fertility rate, an average of 3.1 children per woman – well above replacement level (2.1)", and "in all major regions where there is a sizable Muslim population, Muslim fertility exceeds non-Muslim fertility".[306] From 1990 to 2010, the global Muslim population increased at an average annual rate of 2.2%. By 2030 Muslims are projected to represent about 26.4% of the global population (out of a total of 7.9 billion people)
>Birth rate goes down >Economy declines >People's living standards goes down >Birth rate goes up You don't have to do anything, it's self-correcting. Birth rate is most strongly correlated with wealth, the poorer you are, the more children you will have.

Have more children, derp. I mean, not you, you are too dumb for this world if you do not even know the answer for that, but yeah, anyone with a functional brain to have more children.

(((They))) themselves say it at your face what's the solution. >grist.org/population/2011-10-03-womens-rights-are-key-to-slowing-population-growth/ >The good news is that we know how to slow population growth. Over the last half century, we’ve learned that the best way to slow growth is not through coercive “population control,” but by ensuring that all people are able to make real choices about childbearing. Women’s rights are key. Fertility rates remain high where women’s status is low. Fewer than one-fifth of the world’s countries will account for nearly all of the world’s population growth this century. Not coincidentally, those countries — the least developed nations in sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia, and elsewhere — are also where girls are less likely to attend school, where child marriage is common, and where women lack basic rights.
