It can’t be just an economic issue. Almost every country with the problem has tried economic incentives, and it doesn’t work more than a smidge.
The only thing massively inversely correlated to increased birth rates is female education and employment.
I think that the fact is, once women know how to avoid it, they basically don’t want kids, and that’s it. If we want them as a society, we will have to force them to have kids somehow — either by stopping their education and employment or by legally mandating it.
Jesus christ, this is your solution space? Like, when you rev up all your brain's horsepower to solve the problem, those are the two solutions you can come up with?
This is my new favorite comment in the btc space ever. And I am using a peculiar definition of 'favorite', obviously.
