“I had a post on the subject a few months ago; a recent online discussion started me thinking about it again and I have some new ideas. One was due to a poster whose list of ways government could reduce the birth rate included banning divorce. I suspected he had it backwards. The obvious reason to think that is that modern societies have both easy divorce and low birth rates. But correlation is not causation; there are other plausible reasons for low birth rates, some discussed in my earlier post. There are better reasons.” (06/10/26)
