Jamaica's birth rate has quickly fallen to concerning levels.

Just allow in a stream of people from neighboring countries and Sub-Saharan Africa for the next 5 to 10 years.
In the meantime, try to find and implement incentives and regulations to get the birthrate above 2 persons per female.

Some countries trying to get rid of people and others need people. Jamaica is poor and has a declining birthrate. Since Jamaica isn't going to benefit much from "brain drain", just focus on getting some people in.

They basically having two kids which is still replacement rate, this isn’t alarming

Slightly less than 2, and that's before emigration and crime. So the replacement rate is much less than 2. That is alarming.

Am I off or isn’t birth rates declining around the entire world? This isn’t a problem specific to jamaica.

The world was just less than 7 billion people a few years ago, now it's over 8 billion. So the global population is increasing and people expect it to peak at 15B and then maybe flatline at 10B or so.

Some populations are growing, some have stagnated, and some are declining. But overall the world is growing albeit it's fewer births per capita.

That’s good especially if u already living in poverty or struggling to make it on your own

Also a lot of running to florida, ny, London, Toronto for a better life

Developing country and a declining population? That's an economic implosion waiting to happen. How is that a good thing?

You need a stable and growing population to keep the economy stable and growing too. The US, UK and Western Europe makes up for it with immigration. Eastern Europe about to crash in a few years or decades.

It’s 1.9, that’s 2

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

This people are less likely to have as many kids because frankly people are now better parents

 

[Boxchevy]

It’s becoming a financial decision and people simply can’t afford it.

As well as the labor involved with raising children. Alot of women are simply opting out of child rearing because the majority of labor falls on them..this is whether they are married or not..

 

[straightcash]

It’s 1.9, that’s 2

That's before emigration, homocide, natural disasters and institutionalization. That's much less than 2 new people for every 2 people lost. If it was Japan or an EU state, it would have been fine but not for Jamaica though.

Breh, we don’t take all that into account anywhere else when talking fertility rate. The point is you have a kid to replace every egg and sperm carrier who created you

Replacement level fertility is the level of fertility at which a population exactly replaces itself from one generation to the next. In developed countries, replacement level fertility can be taken as requiring an average of 2.1 children per woman.

I mean shyt you got cats like @Uncouth Savage with that homo shyt so of course it’s gonna decline

These governments need to fix their countries (all of them, not just Jamaica) instead of complaining about low birth rates

This. Too many governments fukk up countries. Happened in Barbados too where the government ran the fukking country into the ground. Now there are so many problems.

That's because First World countries don't have all those problems large enough to affect their stats.
Jamaicans emigrating abroad alone makes that 1.9 rate inflated and meaningless. It's not replacement numbers.
