    USSR had significantly higher birth rates when it still existed,

    USSR was a poor country, and most other countries also had higher birth rates.

    one child policy of China was precisely implemented because they had a too high birth rate back then.

    Again China was a poor country.

    So all you are doing is confirming what I already wrote that poor countries have higher birth rates.
    China has been easing the 1 child policy, but the birth rate continues to decline.

      So you think it is just because they are rich now? Well bad news for you: most of the Russian and Chinese population isn’t rich at all.

      And anyways, you mean “rich” like the US where people can’t afford health and childcare because they are being exploited by capitalists and have to spend nearly all their waking hours working shitty jobs to pay for their inflated mortgages and rent?
