          China? Country with oneof the lowest birth rates for a developed economy?

          India? With barely replacement rate

          Today, the average Indian woman is expected to have 2.0 children in her lifetime, a fertility rate that is higher than China’s (1.2) or the United States’ (1.6),

          Syria that has been a global battle ground without functioning healthcare system?

          I doubt any body deciding much about anything about family planning and they sure as fuck ain’t worried about retirement.

          Are you reposting some idea I heard in 2005 in 2024?
