nope, Col is extremely high for a low TFR country eventually
Nope. Poor people country like Laos, Philippines and Vietnam have high tfr. Even Iran also have high tfr. They have highest ranking gdp 15th

Yes, empirically, higher poverty (or lower economic development) is strongly associated with higher Total Fertility Rates (TFR), but it's not a simple, desirable lever.
The observed pattern
Cross-country data: Poorer countries consistently show higher TFR. Least developed/low-income nations often have TFRs of 4–6+ children per woman, while high-income developed countries average around 1.4–1.7 (below the ~2.1 replacement level).103378
Examples: Ethiopia (low GDP/capita) historically ~6, Japan/South Korea (~1.2–1.3). GDP per capita below ~$1,000/year correlates with TFR ≥3; above ~$10,000, it's usually ≤2.fd9fd2
Within countries: In many places (including the US), lower-income households have higher birth rates than higher-income ones, though this can flip or weaken after controlling for culture, education, age at childbearing, and religion.ba3b2c
Trends over time: As countries industrialize and get richer (demographic transition), mortality falls first, then fertility declines with urbanization, education (especially for women), better contraception access, higher child-rearing costs, and shifting opportunity costs.251aa8

Girls/ladies keep on looking down on guys, cancelling them and rejecting them isn't going to help either
With better education, women rather Chiong their own career than be a mother. The career will take a hit which they don’t want, and most of them definitely won’t wanna be a stay home mum unless their husbands is very rich to allow them to be tai tai

being a mother is no longer their dream unlike in the past. Nowadays women rather Chiong career n earn money to pamper themselves.

Just creste an opt in opt out scheme.

Upon birth assign 1 partner.

U can opt out anytime by 21 years old.

At 18 years, required to spend 100 days together as national service. These 100 days counted in the 2 years for guys.

So simple. If u kena dinobu, opt out lah. So simple.

We should legalise and promote surrogacy. Many of our educated women wants to have kids but do not want to go through the down time in both work and child birth. Plus there are many that cannot carry through the term. Having a proper system in place is a win win. All these things about not paying for surrogacy is complete hypocrisy to me. People are carrying the baby to full term. Why shouldn’t we pay them for it ? If some wish to do this full time, simply because childbirth is easier for them and it is the only thing they can do to move out of poverty, why not?

On one hand we want to increase tfr, on the other we set up multiple obstacles to prevent tfr from increasing. Sometimes, it is just not possible to have the cake and eat it. If we want the raw numbers of tfr to go up, then we need to do all it takes, including removing all obstacles and even destigmatising single mothers.
