You call out all the reasons they should have a kid, like free healthcare. But ignore all the reasons why people don't want to have kids.
You also ignore all the reasons why someone in a 3rd world country might have more kids. Like mortality rate, needing more hands for work, etc.
Yes contraception and reproductive rights are part of it. But acting like those are the only things it's naive.
Acting like making peoples lives more comfortable will make them want to have kids is every more naive, that's why I was replying in the first place. There's plenty of reasons people don't want them, women rights gives them even more reasons, women rights and contraception gives them the means to prevent it.
Lol, you're clearly invested in one side and doing research in only one direction. There are plenty of reasons people would want kids too. There are plenty of reasons they don't have kids that can be changed.
You also pick out a chart that conveniently only has things that support this view called out. Ignoring correlation doesn't equal causation. If you think so, this site will blow your mind https://search.app/RrPkGZ5UpJcSrvHU9
I'm not here to change your mind, you've made it up. I've said my piece.
Thing is, when you see the same thing happen all over the world then saying "correlation doesn't equal causation!" just makes you look dumb.
