Singapore had the most effective approach.

They didn't do forced policies like China, and their approach was based on development like many others.

They done this by campaigning and using posters to convince people. Furthermore they had fined people for having too much kids.

The most important part is that they encouraged educated people to have more kids than poor people. The result is more educated, more financially stable families.

Basically shit plummetted to where they now pay you 20k for having a second child. They are doing the exact opposite today because it worked too well.

Err, the US hasn't pursued a policy. mexican birth rates are on par with typical immigrant ones. It will drop in a generation.

Real and bigger fears were aimed at Irish and Italian immigrants once, if you seen the history.

Singapore's birthrate is like 1.3. Shit's lower than the US by 1. They had a pretty active campaign to lower it.

That's wrong as fuck. White and black birthrates are at 2.1.

Singapore was third world like forty years ago. I'd say its super-effective when it started.

It wasn't just fines. It wasn't even mostly fines. They offered free shit to stop having kids, had promoted a two kid image, etc.

Oh, I happily admit it appears you were actually closer then I initially thought although there is still a huge longterm difference between 2.2(I think it is closer to 2.3) and 2,1.

Actually its not irrelevant in terms of longterm outcome, if you're going to argue that the readings have a +/- .1 margin of error you might as well argue that future population predictions are not possible considering 2.1 is the cutoff for demographic replacement.

A small difference will result in huge differences 100 years into the future. This can be seen in the wiki link(black percentage of the US is predicted to remain constant while whites reduce and spics increase).

Wtf am I reading. You think that margin of errors mean that you can't account for differences in the future?

.1 differences are hardly a great variation. Again, it can easily be margin of error. Neither is the fact that it remains the same number year to year.

uh, what I wrote is that you can't make population predictions if you take .1 to be your margin of error when it comes to a population currently at 2.1.

This is a correct statement, as 2 verses 2.2 100 years into the future will have significantly different population numbers.

Also as I suspected, blacks have a significantly higher birthrate.

Fertility rate: Average amount of children per woman in a lifetime.

Birthrates: Number of births in a year.

We can't count these factors because they are unstable and uncertain. If you wanna determine policy look at fertility.

Yes you can. You can easily determine x population would be within 5000-5500 range. You can't say x will equal 5000. You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

First, the white birthrate was 58, not 60.

Next, you must be really bad at math.

Differences compile over time.

Thats why the difference of .2 between 2 and 2.2 will huge significance inlongterm outcome.

The same goes for the difference between 58 and 67 in terms of birthrate.

How do you quantify how much children an average women has in a lifetime, without waiting for the current generation to reach infertile age to have up to date policies? You could extrapolate that the current generation will be somewhat similar to the previous; but why not just use birthrates?
Birthrates seem so much simpler to gather, and less convoluted.

>> No.2502284

>>2502241
I just said average number of children per women in a lifetime.
>>2502234
.1 is statistically meager as I already said. And the difference between .1 is not significant at all. Its all within a pretty close range unless you are a fuktard.

For example, 2squared is about 8, 2.1squared is about 9. Not much difference.

With that said, those numbers aren't even permanent. Black fertility rate has been declining faster than all others so making predictions is useless.
