TFR as calculated accounts for age-specific birth rates


Who cares

You can calculate based on income levels

Stop being so obtuse to avoid the obvious

The fertility rates at the income levels you posted do not support your point. On average, at those rates, suggest that for every 1 million person in such groups, 940,000 are not having children. That you don’t have historical context for those numbers speaks to your unfamiliarity with the subject matter, but those are some insane numbers. Why you can’t see the relation between TFR and the numbers you posted has to be willful at this point. If there was any incentive to have children do to welfare payments alone, there wouldn’t be burgeoning demographic crises in nearly every developed country.

You are missing the point entirely.

Yes, poor people reproduce at higher rates than affluent people. That doesn’t change the fact that birth rates as a whole are declining.
