RE: The curious case how the meaning of quote can change as time passes by or my entry for Project Hope Competition #3
Hello @cryptohumster
You make a very good analogy between population growth and technology. What you mention about agriculture, it's very good that you bring it up, because when people mention the word technology, they only think of computers and electronic devices. But, the reality is that a scissor is technology, a hammer, things so basic that they make our lives easier.
The problems of declining birth rates are more entrenched in developed countries. And in developing countries the birth rate is very high. This is a reality.
Thank you for participating in the contest.
Thanks for reading my article and leaving the comment.
Yes, so far in developing countries the birth rate is very high as was in developed countries decades ago. When the developing countries will reach the same level of development as modern day Germany, France, Sweden, we will see the same birth dynamic. When women will have a choice - education, science, career, sports, politics, family, they will not want to focus all their life just on family and raising kids. It is almost impossible to get a master degree (takes 6 years), build a career, go on vacations to distant palaces, snowboarding, surfing and at the time raise small children. So first child is often born at age 32-34. So to fix overpopulation, you don't need to limit the number of children you can have by law or find a way to build a colony on Mars, you just need to focus on developing 3d world countries.
