voluntary family planning provision and promotion achieved rapid fertility decline, even in poor, rural and illiterate communities.

I'd assumed that family planning was more quickly adopted in wealthier areas where people had greater expectations that their kids would survive. Interesting to learn that that's not necessarily true.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
