@YJj1064719 @sharghzadeh @CoreyWriting They don’t, look at Israeli Pisa scores. Barely a quarter of Israelis are Ashkenazi who participate in productive economic activities and that percentage is going down every generation.

عوائد السعودية النفطية بعد الحرب أعلى من قبلها، وبـ40%.

لأن تأثير ارتفاع سعر البرميل أعلى من تأثير انخفاض عدد البراميل المصدّرة.

وبالطبع خلّفت الحرب تكاليف عسكرية وبنى تحتية.

لم يكن ليحقق ذلك بعد فضل الله دون رؤية من استثمر في إنشاء خط شرق غرب قبل عقود، ومن يقود القرار في هذه الأحداث بحكمة، وكل من يدافع عن البلاد ويبنيها.

Japan (proper without the colonies) had a population of 71-72 million in 1937 but with a GDP of $8.83 billion.
The US had a population of 128 million with a GDP of $92.30 billion.
Japan never stood a chance.

South korean workers were chronically overworked and underpaid. South korean workers were paid less than filipino workers while working longer hours until 1980. Workers in subsidiary factories were also paid only a fraction.

@fouadurbanist التخطيط الحضري في المنطقة ما يعترف أصلا في شي اسمه مراكز مدن، مجمعات المكاتب متناثرة حول المدينة، الأبراج على شوارع طولية مو أحياء مركزية، إلخ…

@ScootFoundation PPP adjustment is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[BB @armchairexp]

@Aaronal16 The South has a lower tfr, it’s the highlands that raise Yemeni tfr, and births are at 1.3~1.4 million

[BB @armchairexp]

@GoesToDubai Yes it does, the UAE has an extremely unequal educational outcomes because of its unusual demographics relative to other Arab countries

[BB @armchairexp]

Nothing unusual for PISA 2025 , Arab countries preform badly even relative to their economic & material reality excluding Qatar or the UAE because they have a large expat population. Morocco continues to preform really badly relative to other Arab countries. Same old same old

Honestly, I don’t think anyone expected such a revolutionary social change within 10 years with minimal actual social resistance.

@fkontar78 I don’t view the current Syrian government positively to say the least, but I doubt they are so incompetent that they would have candidates apply for MOD enterprise jobs through google forms.

@stendhalist Not thinly-veiled really

[BB @armchairexp]

@SyrianLib Even undesirable/antisocial Qatari men can easily get a foreign wife so this is pretty surprising to me that they are barely hovering over replacement rate fertility. This just shows you how impressive French & American tfr really is

[BB @armchairexp]

If Qataris with guaranteed high paying government jobs, free electricity & water, and free plots of land are at 2.23 than this doesn’t bode well for the future of Saudi tfr

[JBKN (Jens) @JebknJbkn]

@BirthGauge Total fertility rate Qatar by citizenship.

@SyrianLib Doubt it, most Qataris have maids and drivers to take care of the kids when they aren’t home and yet… Also Qatari society is incredibly conservative for its level of wealth & openness so lifestyle choices isn’t it probably.
