[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - so some of the answers seem to make it an issue about wealth - i.e. wealthy and developed countries aren't having kids (see japan).

If that is the case, then why are [b]russians and slavic countries (and balkans)[/b] have very low birth rates when they are a lot poorer than western europe, for sure.

An example - turkey is richer than bulgaria, but turkey has a tfr at or above replacement level but bulgaria is at 1.5

So I don't believe it being something about strictly wealth/development and opportunity costs. [/quote]

Russia, and slavic/balkan countries aren't all "white."  Indo-Europeans came from the Middle East and China.

Well, the most accepted theory is the Kurgan hypothesis, that Indo-Europeans came from the Pontic Steppe, around Ukraine. Another, less accepted, theory is that they emerged from Turkey. But no one claims that Indo-Europeans "came from" China, though the Tocharians did settle in what is now western China.[/quote]
