Vegard Skirbekk: Understanding the global transition to low fertility

[@utroligte]

good talk. interesting, but he failed to actually give sources for the question about people having 'a few extra kids just in case', besides some conjecture. Which religious institutions advocated late fertility? and the point about people having more, after some died, is a more circular argument. How about the economic side of things, if there are less children, and populations/countries will become older/more mature, what kind of changes would he/'they'? suggest, besides just increasing the retirement age? especially in places like the Nordic countries, where the social burden is somewhat higher than other places?
