Who told you that drivers have to be 51%?

That's not what a driver is. Driver is a general term, ten pregnancies are a driver of total birth rate, as they have impacted total fertility significantly.

Less than 20% of a total is "significant"?

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes. For example, 60 million people in the US (less than 20% of our total population) is a significant amount of people.

When it comes to teen pregnancies, 1 is 1 too many. ~20% is significant.

[–] ech@lemm.ee -2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that's not what I said.

Yeah. Less than 1% would be insignificant. More than 5% is significant, most times. More than 10% is definitely significant.
