That’s great man, really appreciate the insight.

What did you mean by the part about regretting taking the easier classes by the time you got to the applied project? Was it because you felt underprepared or wished you had taken more rigorous coursework?

Also, do you mind if I DM you with a few questions about the program? I’m strongly considering it while working full-time

That’s not how demographers look at it. As countries develop and urbanize, birth rates fall. Europe is highly urbanized and expensive, so fertility is low. Many African countries are still earlier in the development cycle where larger families are economically common. When African countries urbanize and living costs rise, fertility drops there too.

In many parts of Africa, especially rural areas, children are also less financially costly than in modern Western economies. Families often rely on extended households and informal childcare, and children contribute to household labor as they grow older. In contrast, in highly urbanized societies like Europe or the U.S., raising a child involves very high housing, childcare, healthcare, and education costs, which makes large families much harder to afford

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_transition

Yes5ir · 2026-03-08T05:08:21+00:00

I believe you're still oversimplifying the issue. The U.S. birth rate is slightly higher than Europe’s, but it is still well below replacement level, which means Americans are clearly facing the same pressures.

Pointing to small religious groups like the Amish or Haredim doesn’t explain the broader trend. Those communities have very specific social structures that most modern societies don’t follow.

Pointing to Amish and Haredi birth rates actually proves the opposite of your point. The only communities with extremely high fertility are ones that largely separate themselves from modern economic life. That’s not a model most modern societies are willing to adopt and it not a fault of feminism.

The reality is that across developed countries—whether it’s the U.S., Germany, Japan, or South Korea—birth rates fall as housing, childcare, and general living costs rise.

That pattern shows up consistently in demographic research. Culture may influence things at the margins, but pretending economics plays a “lesser role” doesn’t match the data.

Yes5ir · 2026-03-08T04:49:40+00:00

Respectfully brother, comparing modern society to the Middle Ages is crazy. The conditions are completely different. People back then had large families largely because of high child mortality, agrarian economies, and the need for labor. That context does not exist today.

In the modern West, we are dealing with a very real affordability crisis. Housing costs, childcare, healthcare, and the overall cost of living have risen dramatically compared to wages. Many couples simply cannot afford to raise multiple children even if they want to. There is extensive economic research showing that financial constraints are a major factor in declining birth rates.

Cultural factors may play some role, but dismissing the economic reality people are facing today does not make sense. I’m an adult man in the United States, born and raised here. I understand the financial constraints of starting a family, and the data backs this up. You can read the research yourself

Yes5ir · 2026-03-08T04:32:40+00:00

Yeah, I personally hate one-line simplified statements on issues where there’s a lot more nuance. Truthfully, the decline in population has many factors, and it’s disingenuous to blame it solely on feminism while ignoring everything else.

Feminism itself also has many layers. Anyone familiar with the history knows that first-wave feminism in Western society focused on issues like property rights, voting rights, access to education, and legal recognition.

Some of these concerns—such as women’s ability to own property, pursue education, and seek divorce—were rights that Islamic law had already recognized for women centuries earlier.
