Silicon Valley “Pronatalist” Malcolm Collins says it’s “wild” to him that not a single country or culture has found a solution to maintain a stable population alongside prosperity, gender equality and education.
“If you look at fertility rates today the only countries that really have above repopulation fertility rates are where the average salary is under £4,000 a year or $5,000 USD a year,” Mr Collins told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.“If you look at the developed world the average fertility rate is only around 1.
5 and we need just around 2.1 just to keep stable populations.“You can say well we can solve this with immigration, but then what you’re doing is making the developed world reliant, their economies reliant on keeping African countries poor that have a high fertility rate and that obviously is not a good place to put the world in.”
