> but the more prosperous the average family becomes ... the faster the overall population will grow All statistics point to the opposite. Education and higher income correlate with lower number of children. In countries like India, the educated middle and upper classes have a very low birth rate -- most families have 1 or 2 kids. It usually the poor and uneducated families that have the most kids. Most developed countries also have a birth rate that is below replacement. As people get more educated, the human population (for whatever reason) seems to be at risk of collapse / rapid shrinkage. I don't know why educated people chose to have less kids, but that is what the statistics are telling us. |
