Are low birth rates a kiss of death to a civilisation? I don't recall any examples of them being successfully reversed.
>>
>>529528
Only when they allow themselves to be overrun by civilizations with higher birth rates (and the cycle continues)
>>
>>529528
Remember France after the Franco-Prussian war

After WW2 their birth rates went up

Also which civilizations died because low birthrates?

It's to do with the Boomers. Their generation was so huge it has dwarfed any preceding generations.
And beacuse of that we need to import more immigrants to pay for for their retirement.

Considering that we've never lived in a society where technology allowed for industrial output to be mostly unrelated to population, the lessons of the past have absolutely no relation to our own future.
>>
>>529728
>>529752
Those trends aren't guaranteed to continue. Has anyone in the past had low birthrates directly lead to cause of death of a whole population?

>Are low birth rates a kiss of death to a civilisation?

Not likely, and some anons take on the fall of Rome isn't exactly proof of anything. An ever increasing population is not a de facto good thing. If there is little need for unskilled masses but high need for highly skilled people then a society would be better off putting more resources into a few people than few resources into many people.

>I don't recall any examples of them being successfully reversed.

It's a new phenomenon, the only example I can think of is China which recently revised it's one child policy.

>The whole of Greece has been subject to a low birth rate and a general decrease of the population, owing to which cities have become deserted and the land has ceased to yield fruit.... For as men had fallen into such a state of luxury, avarice, and indolence that they did not wish to marry, or, if they married, to rear the children born to them, or at most but one or two of them, so as to leave these in affluence and bring them up to waste their substance the evil insensibly but rapidly grew.

Polybius on Hellenistic Greece, before it got conquered by Rome.

This generation, for all the emphasis they placed on grooming, would not reproduce. Moreover, these mice were noted to be unintelligent compared to previous generations."
