As the average income of a country goes up, birthrate goes down. That’s just how humans are. We guess at reasons, but it’s just a universally observable fact.

If rich nations allow room for anyone else to claw their way up out of the low end of the value chain, we’ll see the same thing happen there.

Yeah for sure one child makes it a less clear example, but even post-one child, china shows the same trends as other rich nations.
