Those uneducated people usually from poorer third world countries get a lot of children cause of environmental factors:
Educated people usually from first world countries don't get a lot of children because:
Countries like France and the Scandinavian nations do better:
Result: higher birth rates than Japan, Italy, Spain, and formerly Germany. If you want a “younger” society → invest structurally in good family life.
This is like stuff from geography I was taught in highschool, don't you have your high school diploma or what? 😂
Go into any rural and/or poor area in America or Canada and you'll find poor uneducated people and they're having kids just fine even in wealthy countries with a lot of environmental factors pushing against it.
It's a matter of want. Own your decision don't blame it on external factors. If you want to blame external factors for your not having kids you're weak. My girlfriend is Kenyan. She has a 11 year old son back home she hasn't seen in a year. She had a kid in a small rural town halfway around the world and moved to Canada to make a better life for her and her family. You know what she's never done? Push blame outwards.
Yes, structurally we can be doing a lot better to make it easier and more attractive for people to have kids but that was and is not my point. My point is if you want kids just fucking do it. The reward far outweighs the risk and long term you're going to be much, much better off because you've just grown your team.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Get this guy a geography class RIGHT NOW "Why dont homeless people just buy a house" "Why dont poor people just work more"
You are sooooo limited in your thinking it's really a shame. You don't even know the conditions some people live in even in dense urban areas like Toronto while still having kids.
