The replacement fertility rate is the average number of children a woman needs to have in her lifetime for the population to replace itself from one generation to the next, without migration. In simple terms, it’s the number of children each woman would need to have to maintain the population size over time, accounting for factors like mortality. This rate is often considered to be around 2.1 children per woman in developed countries, as it accounts for the fact that not all children survive to reproductive age. If the fertility rate is below this level for an extended period, it can lead to a declining population over time.
Tunisia lol?? Disgrace of Africa.
Very well, I enjoy seeing humanity fail
colors must be swapped
Africa seriously needs to use more birth control lol
Good, I don’t like kids. Annoying little cunts.
Judging by the color scheme, below replacement is apparently good..?
Does this graph show the increase in the level of development divided by the population or something?
Be aware that estimations about (exact) rates of future population in/decrease are quite contested even among experts
Africa: being named after Tunisia old name (Ifrīqiyyah)
Tunisia: ehh whatever, count me out
turks not making kids since when
I feel like this is an issue that is not talked about enough.
Yes, fewer people may be better for environment but our entire economic systems are build on having a large cohort of people in productive age supporting the elderly and the children.
It’s not just about the pension systems, it’s literaly about having enough people to run all our infrastructure, schools, hospitals, police etc. and about having enough consumers buying stuff to keep the economy running. Young and middle age people tend consume way more than elderly.
And we don’t have an alternative economic system, so unless we can figure out one (with AI and robotics and/or anti-aging technology prolonging human productive years) or start having more kids, the world will be an interesting place in the next 50 years.
You won’t be able to save up for retirement because inflation will eat your savings and if the economic system collapses, investments will be useless since stocks, bonds, real estate…all will go down. Old people without a family unable to support themselves anymore will likely just be abandoned.
Once I used to think my country, India, was doomed due to population explosion. But I really underestimated how much education and accessibility can do. Huge W for post-2000 India.
Posting this here is like putting bait in a piranha infested pond
I go to Kazachstan!
That’s kinda wrong. The Philippines replacement rate has fallen to 1.9 per woman.

What’s a replacement fertility rate?

why is this called “replacement migration”?
that’s color blind nightmare
It’s a really weird colour scheme
Take notes Brussels. Take notes.
Europe is so fucked
