Teaching: “Global fertility”

| 22 Comments

This Economist videographic is great for discussing the socioeconomic impact of fertility rates. In just over 3 mins, it makes one simple point: around the world, as incomes rise in, fertility rates decline.

But it also shows that these declines have been uneven across regions & time. So it allows for a more nuanced discussion—particularly one geared at asking why fertility rates would decrease as a function of improving socioeconomic conditions (or whether a decrease in fertility rates comes before socioeconomic improvements?). Either way, it’s a great way to sneak in some structuralism.

Perhaps fertility rates declined as productivity became more associated with energy costs and less associated with population size.

The best time to buy True Religion Outlet is in April or the beginning of May. True religion jeans sales are less hard to find at this time because summers are hot and people usually wear shorts instead. It depends on the brand you get, but you can find True Religion Jeans on sale throughout the year. Some people will compermise and get True religion jeans that they don't like one hundred percent because they cant afford higher priced jeans that they really want.
