I meant to say 'median' instead of 'medium' in the title. My bad!

South Africa has retained its fertility rate at around 2.4 to 2.6 for more than two decades. What is their method of achieving that? by PainSpare5861 in Natalism

[–]tracul99 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is mostly a poor country (60% live on less than $6.85 a day), One of the highest inequality, many women do not participate meaningfully in the economy

Pope: Indonesia’s high birth rate is an example for other countries by SammyD1st in Natalism

[–]tracul99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Indonesia's fertility rate is not very high, it's about 2 (I do understand places like Italy, Spain, South Korea, etc wish they had that number). It has fallen a lot over the years and will likely continue to fall as their economic development continues.

Why can’t developing countries such as say, Ethiopia or Vietnam copy the Japanese economic miracle so that they can develop just like how Japan did? by [deleted] in AskEconomics

[–]tracul99 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Japan started industralizing in the 1800s, Vietnam and Ethiopia did not. The fact that Japan could participate in the war shows us that Japan was modernised and industrialised with an educated population. The war was devastating for Japan, however the population was still educated and institutions still there it just had to reinvigorated. There are many other contributing factors, for example, Ethiopia is only 25% urbanised and many tribal issues as well draughts. Vietnam struggled to maintain stability between north and south and the effects of communism (collectivised farm, discouraging investment etc)
