So interesting. This makes me want to write a sci fi short story exploring what happens to our populations as all nations develop, technology advances, and population shrinks.
A truly remarkable map. The highest fertility rates in Europe are barely at replacement level. Most of Europe is far below. Interesting how much between-country variance there is.https://twitter.com/simongerman600/status/1138866057047945217 …

Interesting that the color scheme used here reveals the author's preference: high fertility = green (good); low fertility = red (bad). Someone else might see low fertility as good because it allows for higher rates of immigration which is enormously beneficial to immigrants
-
Where does the author say that is their preference?

The France/Spain and France/Italy differences seem implausibly large. Could it be a difference in how they're measured?
-
Maybe. Economically those countries really have fared very differently though. So it's not implausible.

Why is population growth good? Consumption has an end game for everyone.

I didn't say it was (or wasn't).
