It’s interesting that data for the year 2020 shows a plunge in birth rate. Most babies born in 2020 were conceived before March, so we shouldn’t have seen such a fierce drop in just that year, and would have expected to see it in 2021.
So the drop probably indicates that a lot more miscarriages or stillbirths happened, which is horribly sad.

This is probably Israel, which in 2020 had fertility rate of 2.90 with the HDI of 9.92.
According the Central Bureau of Statistics (in 2020, in Hebrew) there is a big difference in fertility rate between the different ethnic/religious/socio-economic groups in the country. I assume this is the reason that Israel is an outlier as some of those groups are closed, traditional, or live far from central Israel where much of the economic activity takes place, and the HDI of those groups is in practice much lower than the aggregate HDI of the country.
A woman in the highest socio-economic cities was expected to give birth to 1.95 children, while a woman in the lowest socio-economic cities was expected to give birth to 5.36 children.
When breaking it down by religion Arab women had fertility rate of 2.82 while "Jewish and other" had 2.88. Breaking it does further, Jewish women had fertility rate of 3.00 (ultra-orthodox 6.64, religious 3.92, secular 1.96) while women with no religious designation had fertility rate of 1.35.

Other denominations are already upset because the ultra-orthodox Jews don’t work. They live off a stipend that comes from the government. And where does this stipend come from?

u/Registered-Nurse Dec 01 '22 edited Dec 01 '22
Hasidics believe the only job for men is to study the religion, so that’s what they do all day, study the Torah. Women typically work, usually at Hasidic businesses. But you can’t survive off one income, so the government PAYS the men to study the Torah. But the non-Hasidics have to work and pay taxes to support them.
It’s similar in NYC, they get so much government support in terms of free healthcare and food stamps. Honestly, I feel like they’re abusing/exploiting the system. Since NYC is a large city, it doesn’t affect the school system, but in smaller villages where Hasidics are the majority, the schools are so shitty because they don’t have to pay taxes. So non-Hasidics get terrible education from these underfunded schools.
There is a small minority of Hasidics that contribute to the outside society and they’re one of the nicest people I have met, but the majority are entitled and just plain nasty to the rest of us. They don’t even like other Jewish people :|

u/sticklebat Dec 01 '22
Many Israelis hate it. Many others tolerate it because it essentially buys votes and therefore power. Israel has a coalition parliamentary system and the religious Jewish parties are big enough on their own that it’s fairly difficult to form a governing coalition without them. That means you either cater to what they want to get them on board, or you fail to build a coalition and go back to another round of elections.
To change this you’d need to have a very strong coalition without them, and that’s just not realistic. If you can manage without them, it will necessarily be by slim margins, unless/until the political landscape changes significantly.

The different colors are there to just tell the points apart the shade has no meaning. Almost all countries are represented here a few may be missing either HDI or Fertility Rate for a few years and will not show up in that year but will be present in others. I think notably North Korea isn't present at all due to lack of HDI data.

Plus kids are retirement plans for the poor. They don’t have the luxury of being able to just, stop working. But humans bodies have expiration dates.

As someone with hospice experience: it's often a failed plan. Many adult children feel guilty, but picking up their lives/jobs/kids to take care of their parents is often(usually) impossible. This is true regardless of cultural expectations. Even when it does happen, this kind of care often widens generational women's/class/race inequalities unfortunately.

Thanks, I mostly wasn’t sure what exactly fertility rate was. But I googled it.
The total fertility rate in a specific year is defined as the total number of children that would be born to each woman if she were to live to the end of her child-bearing years and give birth to children in alignment with the prevailing age-specific fertility rates.

u/goodDayM Dec 01 '22
Glance at a simpler chart: Birth rate by family income in the U.S.. It shows as household income goes up, birth rate goes down.
In other words, similar to OP’s chart: families with the most financial means to support children actually choose to have the fewest.
Studies have found that as women gain opportunities in education, career, travel, they increasingly choose those opportunities over having a lot of kids.

Anecdotally, plenty of people around me want more kids.
But you need too: - establish skills and career in early adult hood. - save and buy property after that. - then you can start having kids 30-35. - you ultimately still need two incomes to have suitable quality of life, when does mum go back to work? Howuch time.can she have off without tanking skills or job opportunities?

That would be a good explanation, if that tracked. Women's rights has trended up on average but not in every country. Countries which have stripped women's rights seem to also trend downward in fertility. It could be a dangerous thing to explain away the global drop in fertility. Correlation != Causation. There's a questionable study that implies global sperm viability has dropped over 60%, if corroborated, that would be hard to explain away so conveniently.

Relevant point of interest: in countries where infant mortality is higher, the fertility rate is also higher. After mass polio vaccine initiatives in said countries, the fertility rate began dropping as evolutionary pressure to produce more offspring to make up for those lost in infancy declined.

You measure what % of 20 year old women gave birth in the past year, what % of 21 year old women, what % of 22 year old women, and so on for every age. Then you add all those numbers up, and you get the total number of births by a woman who lived her whole lifespan under current conditions.
To do this, for every baby you just need to keep track of how old their mother is at birth. (This is why we talk about maternal rather than paternal fertility - to track paternal fertility you would have to identify the father and how old they are, but the father's identity is sometimes unknown or disputed)

I’m don’t think we can draw that conclusion. Yes, that’s the logical result of the current trend, but that trend is based on relatively recent history. There are a couple of other futures I can imagine off the top of my head, here is one of them:
1) All countries become highly developed and the fertility rate of the entire world drops below replacement. 2) Over time this causes a LOT of issues, and eventually economic decline 3) this leads to the failure of healthcare systems 4) this leads to increased infant mortality rates 5) this causes fertility rates to increase again
I’m not an expert and have no idea if this will happen. I just wanted to give one example of an imagined future in which this trend changes
TLDR: the trend does lead to what you said, but there’s no reason to assume the future will follow that trend indefinitely

u/returnexitsuccess Dec 01 '22
The scale is correct, though by 2020 there is only one country exceeding 6, which is Niger. For lesser developed countries there is often high infant mortality and also a dependence on children to help labor in an agrarian lifestyle. I’m sure poor access to contraceptives keeps that number high as well.
Even in the United States, on one side of my family I’m the first generation of less than 8 children for at least the past four generations, possibly more.

Now correlate that with GDP per capita ppp, and not surprisingly you will see that fertility rate drops as people's life quality increases.
Why? Because of several factors like:
- Better access to condoms and other prevention
- Women getting into the jobmarket and having a career
- Having public elderly care makes it so it is no longer necessary to have children to care for you when you get old

I was thinking about trying to plot something closer to that but I couldn't decide on a metric so I just used HDI since it takes into account many of those types of metrics, like education.

Nicely done. What is hdi? Please define the two variables

HDI is the most commonly accepted measurement of human prosperity (published by the UN), taking into account factors such as health, education, and economic prosperity through a number of different measurements. More information can be found here .
The fertility rate, put simply, is the number of children that the average woman in an area is expected to have throughout their life. This does not take into account child mortality however, so each country will have a different “replacement rate”, aka the fertility rate at which the population will remain stable. For the developed world, this is about 2.1, but can be as high as 3.5 in very underdeveloped areas. The global average replacement rate is around 2.3.

I'd be interested to see this adjusted for the improved life expectancy at birth that is (inherently) correlated with rising HDI.

What does the size of the dots represent? Population of each country? What’s the color represent? The HDI is multidimensional and reflects standard of living, education, life expectancy,etc. How would that plot look if HDi was substituted with another index?

The abrupt change presumably due to Covid in the very last year is really interesting

Please make it bigger so it is easier to see; make the trace the full time so we can see the complete trend; and there isn't really any need to animate it.

The sperm thing is funny but I wish they were country flags or something to help distinguish

An animated graph of fertilization rates where the moving dots look like spermatazoa -- now THAT is a beautiful visualization! 🤣

Economy development depends on human capital which implies more and more years of study to impulse the development, and hence, less fertility. Of course, there's other reasons this is only one cause.

What is Human Development Index?

u/_PhiloPolis_ Dec 01 '22
It is an index associated with the work of economist Amartya Sen, which is meant to supplant GDP as an index of holistic development. It includes things like infant mortality rate, life expectancy, literacy, etc.

This chart sucks. No legend. No details. It’s like all people care about is making it look cool but forgot what they learned in high school math class.

Ah plotly color scheme always so cute also how did you made the markers have the little tail move so smooth I always use gapminder and they jerk from one position to the next more than a smooth flow.

plot + transition_time(year) + labs(title = "Year: {frame_time}")+ shadow_wake(wake_length = 0.1, alpha = FALSE)
The shadow_wake is what adds the tails.

“Fertility” or “average kids per household”
Having access and knowing how to use birth control does not make people less fertile lol, very strange wording.

I think that your plot might be trying to fertilize something.
