Moreover, for those concerned about population, counter-intuitively,
demographers generally find that the conditions necessary for people
to choose fewer children include radically lower child, infant and
maternal mortality. Because childbearing decisions are often built on
economic necessities, the less certain you are your children will live
to adulthood, the more likely you are to have more of them. A longer
term stability depends on keeping child, infant and maternal mortality
low, even as we struggle with health care costs and the creation of a
lower-energy infrastructure.
