Noah Smith added,
My take on the "African fertility" debate is that it doesn't matter. All the things that lower fertility are things that are also good for other reasons - poverty reduction, women's education, lower child mortality. Thus, there should be no policy debate here.
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)
Fertility rates are falling. Didn't you just post a whole thread a few days ago saying it's population is going to continue to steadily increase and they'll become some international superpower by 2100?
Yes. Fertility is falling, but from a very high base. Hence, African population will stabilize, but at a very very big level.
