Probably just played with numbers, i am for women’s rights but higher education of women drives down birthrates for sure!
Sigh, you had to fucking study to know this? Come the fuck on.
On what grounds? This is the common trend in every single country on Earth.
Even if higher education for women does drive down marriage and birth rates, why is that a bad thing lol.
> Haruko Noguchi, a professor of health economics at Waseda University and head of the research team, said, „Education itself is not the primary cause of declining birth rates, and its direct impact is limited. To address the issue, it is more important to remove institutional barriers — such as strengthening support for balancing work and family life and promoting gender equality in the labor market — than to focus on education levels.“
Does this mean countries with better gender equality in the labor market have higher fertility rates?
For anyone who’s lived here 10+ years and speak the language this is a no brainer. The major factors are:
* Low pay
* High working hours
* Toxic societal expectations
The claim that higher education drives down marriage and births is also completely dependent upon the quality of that „higher“ education. Aside from Japan’s Ivy League equivalents, university education here is an absolute joke of indoctrination and insularity compared to the quality of education in Europe.
so if other studies found that higher education for women does bring the birthrate down. that means women who have the choice refuse to have kids. why is that ? even in nordic societies with better gender equality the locals still find many social issues such as taxes too heavy on small businesses. worldwide young people are grappling with issues such as inflation, oppressive govts, being at the doorstep of ww3 because of the actions of certain countries, and so on. that is the elephant in the room politicians don’t want to address because the reason they want people to have kids is the same reason why a wolf cries when sheep stop reproducing.
I find this interesting because a [2024 study](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38990442/) in America found that traits associated with educational attainment and later age at first birth are being selected against. Women who have children at an earlier age tend to have more children overall. In this article, I noticed they mentioned no difference in marriage rates among educated women, but not in the number of children.
I feel like women entering the workplace and realising that most people do fuck all and it’s all bullshit probably hurt mens street cred and made them less attractive. Maybe that’s why nobody’s getting any.
Why is it so hard to understand that,
No time and money + lack of social life = no one has kids
Dude the apps( some of the only way people meet one another) that replaced meeting people, now have algorithims to ensure you never meet anybody and get off them ? It’s insane.
They’ve litteraly commodified love, sex
and attraction.
I’m glad this shit is happening, fuck coperations, once their’s no work to be done for anyone cause no one exits, it’ll be good thing for the world.
We can finally move forward.
sounds like a bad study. it is well-known that higher education leads to a fall in fertility. you see it in countries everywhere, even in countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia
