I agree it's full of paradoxes. There are extremes. You will see ethnics with 5+ children and ethnics with 0 children and ending their bloodline. Maybe they will balance each other out.
Yesterday I was at an iftar with my childhood friends. All of us 30+. Various ethnicity. 7/10 of us were unmarried. I'm sure all of the 7 except me were virgins.
Even if they have 20 kids, their kids will be childless or have at most 1 kid.
I had an afghan co worker, youngest of 6 kids. She only had one child at age 32 and her siblings have zero.
In the 1960s Turkey and Iran had birth rates of 6.0, today its less than 2 for both.
People don't realise how fast things change
