Um. You don't suppose there were actual social impacts of the one child policy do you? I mean, people tend to grow up and mimic what they grew up in. The birth rate may well improve...........but it wasn't going to just snap back.

Now explain robots and farm equipment taking jobs from humans while our population explodes.

Our population growth is dropping. Our population will probably start to shrink in 40 years. Hence the push by industrialists and people like Soros for open borders

Robots and equipment are a godsend to humanity, not an anchor.

What about it? Are you calling for us to stop innovation and forward progress?

The hilarious part is that the moron thinks that it causes a net loss in jobs/good jobs

Yeah, almost as mind-boggling as you pulling things out your arse.

Nah. Just amused at how you duck out when you’ve been backed into a corner.

It’s what you do ShortyFraud.

Dude. Go read the thread. You kicked it off with a vague reference to a survey that doesn’t support your assertion. There is no study that looked at rate as you defined it. It’s laughable really. Prove me wrong.

People move to where the jobs are located. Professional jobs pay more than agricultural or service jobs

We both agree on that.

The issue is the side effects of that migration. More people leave rural for urban. Most red states happen to have more Rural dominated areas, thus they control state level politics.

That's one of the reasons red states are less wealthy, because a large amount of their workforce leaves.

The "uneducated" is a term I dont like to use since I have no clear indication of it including trade based education.

I'm going to assume Louisiana has a vocational based economic model.

The one-child policy started in earnest in 1979, along with the beginning of market reforms in 1978, and was meant to target people in the provinces. Before that, China's TFR was near 3, and remained above replacement until 1993 or so, which means that it is impossible to deduce whether it was the one-child policy or the rate of capital development that is responsible for the declining TFR. China, and many other countries, have had a precipitous drop in TFR, to the point where countries like Iran, Thailand and Turkey have rates below replacement, which means that capital development is the more likely culprit for China's declining TFR. It is incredibly hard to have TFR rise above replacement (which is 2.1 births per woman) once the TFR has fallen below replacement. Scandinavian countries haven't been able to, and there is a looming demographic crisis in the Gulf, North Africa, and West Asia due to capital development, and a corresponding drop in TFR.

Also the one-child policy was only replaced with in 2016, so we don't know for sure what the impact of the new two-child policy is yet.

This is gonna change big time in the next 20 years. Rural America is about to fricking explode. With the rate of technological change You’re going to see a lot more work from home jobs and an exodus from cities as people rediscover nature. Robots and the technological change we’re going through right now are going to fundamentally change how humans live. We’re going to have more time on our hands than we know what to do with. It’s going to be an age of reinlightenment and self discovery. Book it
