India ageing gradually; every 5th person to be 60+ by 2050

Lol. This isnt true.

I agree. Unless she's a government employee she would not risk getting pregnant more than two times.
But then women should not be treated as baby producing machines. Pushing them out of their houses would help control the population is just a myth.
On the other hand some studies suggest that the more education a woman receives, the fewer children she is likely to have, so education is a more effective way of controlling the population.
One thing's for sure that if India fails to control the ever increasing population then our resources will diminish, making us more dependent on other countries to meet our needs.

Illogical & unsound suggestion.

Population is the result of copulation, but all it takes is a single encounter and a single sperm for the kid to be known as an earthling.

Rwanda has 4% of fertility rate and beats a country like India as for as the word workforce goes.

Rwanda Is The No. 1 Country For Women In Power But They Still Face ...

Let me know explain my line of thought.

First, when working full time, you get tired and exhausted at the end of day, when hubby gives a tap on the shoulder to perform the wifely duties, I'm tired cliché comes to mind. In other words, it affects the frequency, and in the end its numbers game, less it is done and less children will be born. Furthermore, working full time adds an element of stress, it could be performance/commuting to work/work politics/don't want to lose job, and stress do have a negative effect on female fertility.

Second, when you earn, it improves your lifestyle, TV and other entertainment avenues comes to mind, again impacting the breeding opportunities.

Third, very important one, the reason people work is money in almost all cases, having children affects your earning capacity especially in private sector. Money aligns their line of thought, a friend of mine does not want to have more kids as they have big mortgage (EMI in Indian terms) and can't afford to have one income, and yes, they want more kids.

In regards to Rwanda, 4% is just a number its relative, may be without female workforce participation it would 6-8% or even more.

I do agree it requires a single encounter, however, that single encounter needs to happen within 6 days window every month, working full time does not eliminate but affects probability of that single encounter.

With Indian population size, my line of thought is applicable to even a small percentage, it has big compounding effect.

This would be my last reply.
I agree with your comment, however, you are indirectly proving my point, you get education to get employment or make a living in almost all cases, one exception may be if you are born with a silver spoon.

All the mature economies have lower fertility rates which again proves my point about women work participation decreases fertility rates. I have lived most of my life in western world and I know how costly it is to raise a single kid. This is the main reason people prefer less kids thus less kids per woman.

Also, your data has different context, it talks about distribution of employment by gender not actual women participation. When I say, women workforce participation, I mean woman participation in workforce from the total population not percentage across different employment sectors. Main example would be, most countries have 50-50 ratio of population, so as per my logic total percentage of women working full time from the total population of women who are 18 or older.

That said, lets agree to disagree and move on..

No I don't.

you get education to get employment

Ask those Greeks & Spaniards with 25% unemployment rate, unless you think they are unschooled.

In Africa, most people work in farms/Agriculture.
And they are (most) uneducated.
Yet with job.

Education tells you how to live better life.
Family planning is equally good for those with jobs or unemployed.

Now keep your gentleman's word as following:

Next post from you on this would be uncivilized.
