    You know, generally as wealth increases birth rate decreases. Just look at the population crises coming up around the developed world.

    This is the exact opposite of why people are having fewer kids in areas with population crises.

    People generally have fewer kids in developed nations than in developing nations because all of their children are likely to survive.

    Population crises arise due to social and economic factors.

        One can easily make the argument that the children are surviving because of the increased wealth.

        That is the argument, yes

        My only disagreement is where population crises come from. These are cultural and economic issues, generally, not necessary consequences of wealth building.

        Otherwise yeah you’re spot on
