[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, I think birth rates are a better proxy for the health of a society as it measures optimism in industrialized societies with choices. The US wins — although not great. Happiness metrics are biased. You can argue life expectancy — but lower life expectancy in the US has little to do with work life balance. In fact, working longer can keep you mentally sharp and alive. [/quote]

Except there are plenty of countries where higher birth rates reflect that women have fewer opportunities and narrower horizons generally.

It’s interesting to look at birth rates by socioeconomic status.

“In 2021, the birth rate in the United States was highest in families that had under 10,000 U.S. dollars in income per year, at 62.75 births per 1,000 women. As the income scale increases, the birth rate decreases, with families making 200,000 U.S. dollars or more per year having the second-lowest birth rate, at 47.57 births per 1,000 women.”
