Elegant way of showing global fertility data for every country in 2019. Spend a few minutes studying it and you might become as big as a fan of the piece as I am. Great work by @SeppalaVilleEN. Source: buff.ly/3Azeg8T
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN This information has been available on the World Bank website for years. See fertility by country.
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN Most are already way out of date given massive crash last 5 years.
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN Beautiful map. Some significant decreases in some of those countries in the Sahel, timely as they are in quite a precarious situation with climate change.
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN Not an easy map to read as it contains a lot of information, but worth some attention. Summary: the countries with the highest population growth (birth rates far above global equilibrium of 2.1 children per woman) have the strongest decline in fertility rate! 1/2
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN This kind of wheel-ray presentation can be really simple and powerful. I've seen similar things showing average and record temperatures by year.
@simongerman600 @IBN_Berlin @SeppalaVilleEN This shows why Africa, SE Asia and basically the Global South are the future and the West is done. 2.1 is the replacement fertility rate for counties to maintain their population size US, UK, CA, Most of EU, China, Japan etc will reduce population size by up to 50% by 2050...
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN the sequence is wrong. The vatican with only men should come first 0. Korea should come second... World Population Clock: 8.1 Billion People (LIVE, 2024) This year 1 human more on every square km. = 55 men/km2. Year 2000 only 41 men/km2
@simongerman600 @SeppalaVilleEN What’s going on with the ‘stans, seem to be bucking the trend?
