TFR are falling throughout the world. In the UK, the TFR is somewhere around 1.5. The result of this has been an aging population, because with expanding life expectancied and falling birth rates there are inevitably more old people than young people. So far, the only real solution to this has been immigration. There are a lot of reasons that people object to immagration, and I’m not going to get into most of them, but immigration does not provide a solution to an aging population. This is because the TFRs of other countries are falling too. India has recently dipped below a TFR of 2. If TFRs continue to fall across the formerly less developed world Britain will no longer be able to simply import young people to produce wealth for the ever aging native population. Therefore, the only way to resolve the falling fertility crisis is to boost fertility in developed nations like the UK.
