Key facts and stances:
- As nations develop (per-capita income over ~$5,000/yr), birth rates fall below replacement.
  South Korea's TFR is ~0.78 — 5.9 great-grandchildren per 100 South Koreans alive today.
  The developed-world average TFR is ~1.56. Central and South America collectively fell below
  replacement rate in 2019. Over half of all countries have below-replacement TFRs.
- Two core concerns: (1) dependency ratio cascades — too few net tax contributors to sustain
  social services, and (2) cultural mass extinction — the loss of low-fertility cultures
  (South Koreans, Emiratis, Jains, Native Americans, and many more).
- What doesn't work: direct subsidies, tax credits, and government mandates. Culture is the
  biggest factor influencing fertility in the developed world.
- We are vehemently against limiting reproductive freedom or curtailing cultural autonomy —
  that includes protecting the choice to be single and/or childless.
- Four work areas: raise awareness, promote sustainable policy (low-cost, non-coercive),
  promote sustainable culture, and connect families.
