Important new work by Wu, @nickdemark.bsky.social, & Hill in @readdemography.bsky.social suggesting that, even for cohorts most impacted by the Great Recession, lifetime completed fertility is still likely to be at or near 2 births doi.org/10.1215/0070...
This kind of population size/rate target is always scary and racist even if it’s allegedly group-neutral because of what it becomes. How do you achieve this? It’s not random.
Birthrate freak-outs are exactly the same.
This is all a piece with the pronatalism we're seeing now and the anti-Black moms crap of the 90s. Trying to pick your population is creepy and bad because it leads to doing bad things to people.

“Barely half of respondents now say they are likely to remain in academia, down 22pp from how they felt 6 months earlier. The fraction likely to stay in the United States fell by 21pp. Even satisfaction w having pursued a PhD in science declined by 16pp”
