Will births in the US rebound? Probably not

People get concerned about migrants replacing natives. What they don&#x27;t realize is that after just a single generation, the birth rates of these communities plummet. It&#x27;s women&#x27;s education all the way down. Women have a career? Less likely to have a family, and also (if they do) to start later and thus have fewer kids. Any article that portrays population decline as a good thing (often for environmental reasons) will actively promote this link. Only two things could change this downward birthing trend:<p>1) ectogenesis (babies grown outside the womb)<p>2) reversal of women&#x27;s rights and political enfranchisement<p>So unless you&#x27;re down with transhumanist or neo-reactionary ideologies, it&#x27;s time to adjust to a world with more elderly than kids for at least the next century.
