Ennui-natalism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq4h12mpeRs Despite debates, a broad consensus has developed over time that as incomes rise, fertility tends to fall. There is little debate about the causal relationship between rising prosperity and declining fertility. Generally speaking, there has been a uniformly high correlation between national income growth and falling birth rates, and between family incomes and fertility. Economists and demographers for the most part agree that important ingredients of improved living standards, such as urbanization, industrialization and rising opportunities for non-agrarian employment, improved educational levels, and better health all lead to changed parental perceptions of the costs and benefits of children, leading in turn to lower fertility. In other words, there is no longer much debate about whether or not improved economic conditions, whether at the family level or at the societal level, lead to lower fertility. http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/364/1532/3023.full Stop Hunger Now Southern Africa: http://www.stophungernowsa.org/ World Hunger and Poverty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LinSFVZpUgw Hunger Facts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger
