African child mortality is falling, education is rising, GDP growth is robust, and - just as you'd expect - fertility rates are falling.pic.twitter.com/lFUbrBLLir
What Africa needs is simply to continue on its current path of getting richer and healthier! Don't overthink it. (end)
Why are we having this discussion again?
Lyman got mad at some people for worrying about overpopulation in Africa.
I mean, he's right, but who stirred up the "Africans are having too many kids" crew?
Ezra Klein.
Shit, really?! Ugh. Okay. thanks.
It's such a non-debate. No one - or at least, no one outside Africa - should be thinking or worrying about this...
Much of Africa is poor. Poor people have more kids. Poverty also sucks. We should work on helping poor people. At this level of abstraction, none of this is complicated. I swear we just went over this last year. Didn't Bill Gates go over this last year?!
Yeah. Pointless debate.
In developing countries at least. In developed countries, progressive policies (parental leave and childcare and education funding) boost fertility.
