If you haven’t read Mark Steyn’s 2008 ‘America Alone,’ you must. He spells it out in very clear terms. Western civilization is doomed unless people of European descent get busy and start producing large families, now! (I wish I were young enough to help!) But, sadly, in America, and probably Europe as well, many of the well-educated (intelligent?) young people of forty years ago bought the notion that we would be greedy and hurt the planet if we produced more than two children (our replacements!)—less then two and you were a hero!
While the third world never got that message, as you will see by scrolling through this list of World Fertility Rates for 2015 (thanks to Kurt for bringing this to our attention).
It is no surprise that African nations dominate the list of the most fertile! Here are a few selections:
Niger: 7.27 children per family
Somalia: 5.99
Ethiopia: 5.81
Rep. of Congo: 5.31
Those three (Somalia, Ethiopia, and Rep. of Congo) are all now supplying the US with large numbers of ‘refugees.’
From the Middle East/Asia:
Afghanistan: 5.33
Iraq: 3.32
Pakistan: 2.75
Syria: 2.6
Then the US is still holding its own (I expect they are counting our Mexican immigrant fertility rate as well):
US: 2.06
And, here we see why Europe is dying (I wonder if they take into account the African and Middle Eastern immigrant births that would explain France and the UK still sort of up there). Imagine if they only factored in the white European fertility rate!
Ireland: 1.99 (get it up just a bit higher!)
France: 1.94
UK: 1.89
Netherlands: 1.78
Norway: 1.76
Denmark: 1.73
Sweden: 1.67
Spain: 1.49
Switzerland: 1.49
Russia: 1.45
Germany: 1.44 (in deep trouble!)
Austria: 1.43
Italy: 1.43
Poland: 1.34
Check out the whole list here—fascinating!
For the year 2049 they estimate much more reasonable fertility rates, but I don’t see how they get there (perhaps just fabricated to make us all feel better).
Remember this guy? He says they are coming not as workers to Germany, but as conquerors to breed with the European women as “Germany is old and decrepit!”
