We don't even need to look back into history, right here today poorer regions have higher birth rates.
Ergo: A poorer society has more children. A richer society has fewer children.
It's a phenomenon that continues to flabbergast me.
Logic would seem to indicate that a more plentiful environment (a richer society) would lead to more children due to a surplus of life's necessities. But the reality is the exact opposite.
I don't know why this is the case, but it's flabbergasting. It almost seems like evolution strives to eliminate those that find too much success.
