About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Fertility Rates

Continuing today's discussion on fertility rates, here's a visual aid I made with Microsoft Paint and the WorldBank data:

Red - 5.0 births per woman or greater
Orange - 4.0-4.9 births per woman
Yellow - 3.0-3.9 births per woman
Green - 2.1-2.9 births per woman
Blue - 1.5-2.0 births per woman
Purple - 1.4 births per woman or fewer

There appears to be direct correlation between a country's homicide rate and its fertility rate. Nearly every red and orange country has a homicide rate well above the world average. On the other hand, every purple country has a crime rate significantly lower than the worldwide average.
