Kids are a retirement strategy in poorer countries, they are the opposite in richer ones.

Retirement strategy?

China, India, Syria...

China? Country with oneof the lowest birth rates for a developed economy?

India? With barely replacement rate

Today, the average Indian woman is expected to have 2.0 children in her lifetime, a fertility rate that is higher than China’s (1.2) or the United States’ (1.6),

Syria that has been a global battle ground without functioning healthcare system?

I doubt any body deciding much about anything about family planning and they sure as fuck ain't worried about retirement.

Are you reposting some idea I heard in 2005 in 2024?

Why the fuck would China or India need to meet replacement rates? They're the most overpopulated places on Earth. This is called progress.
