![]() ![]() The paper attempts to summarize the present state of such research and the conclusions that emerge from it today. This paper, in other words, addresses the question of whether reduced fertility, and more particularly public policies designed to reduce fertility, can lead to higher incomes and improved living standards.Ī good deal of research, of course, has been conducted on this question. does reduced fertility improve the economic prospects of families and societies? Here there is anything but consensus, although, as I will argue in this paper, there appears to be a slowly growing convergence of views in favour of an affirmative answer to this question. Where debate remains active and at times quite contentious has to do with whether causality runs the other way-i.e. There are, of course, important differences between countries, and even within countries, regarding the timing and the pace of these changes, but that there is a causal relationship running from improved living standards to lower fertility is no longer in much dispute ( National Research Council 1986). In other words, there is no longer much debate about whether or not improved economic conditions, whether at the family level or at the societal level, lead to lower fertility. Economists and demographers for the most part agree that important ingredients of improved living standards, such as urbanization, industrialization and rising opportunities for non-agrarian employment, improved educational levels, and better health all lead to changed parental perceptions of the costs and benefits of children, leading in turn to lower fertility. Generally speaking, there has been a uniformly high correlation between national income growth and falling birth rates, and between family incomes and fertility. There is little debate about the causal relationship between rising prosperity and declining fertility. ![]() In other words, the debates occur at both the macro- and the micro-levels and are about the direction of causality.ĭespite these debates, a broad consensus has developed over time that as incomes rise, fertility tends to fall. Like please DE, have the clone start using its abilities, have it do more than be a turret, give it a longer duration, please DE, don't just nerf my goddess like this, give her something in return.Is rapid population growth a symptom, rather than a cause, of low national output and poor economic performance? Fully modded thats only like 20 seconds of oppressive damage (half of which an AI is aiming and missing with). I mean before this update, if you weren't host, pulling out an archgun made your entire ammo pool disappear, meaning you effectively had 2 clips with which to kill your enemies, yours and your clones, before having to put the gun away. Who was abusing it, how were they abusing it on a clone that has a time limit? I mean if I'm whipping out an archgun it's because I didn't bring an AOE weapon, I'm getting overrun, and I need all the firepower I can get. Her clone never casted abilities like the other two, it didn't follow you on your heels, it was always effectively just another gun, one you had to tactically deploy. Wukongs is a crutch, Umbra's is thematically cool, and Equinox's used to be, in a pinch, a considerable extra source for damage. All the clones, they all served different purposes. They have no time limit, they can actually use a melee weapon effectively. The other AI Fighters are different enough from Equinox that this kind of nerf without anything to balance it out hurts so badly. I love DE so much, but why would they do this? Who was asking for this? They've taken so much away from Equinox because of Wukong that I don't understand why they felt the need to take this too. ![]() This falls in line with other AI fighters like Excalibur Umbra and Wukong’s clone - they only use your loadout weapons and not spawn in weapons. ![]() Fixed Equinox’s other half from her Duality Augment Mod using the player’s Archgun instead of their Primary/Secondary/Melee weapon from their loadout. ![]()
