“Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan have similarly low fertility rates and they did not have forced abortions.”

They all let women work. Some ideas of the West are best NOT followed.

Capitalism may be better than socialism, but it still has its faults. The Rust Belt was not caused by Socialism. I believe it was Chesterton who said that capitalism and socialism are two sides of the same materialist coin. He preferred Distributism.

India’s fertility rate is 2.05 births per woman. Below the replacement rate of 2.1

USA 1.64
Egypt 2.96
Tunisia 2.11
Rwanda 3.87
Senegal 4.45
Ethiopia 4.24
Mali 6.24
South africa 2.40
Botswana 2.84

It’s highest in the “Sahel” zone but seems to extend to the Botswana-South Africa zone.

Africa is like the USA or EUrope 100 years ago
