As someone who will never have children, the only way I could see that changing would be universal free daycare, free education at every level, free healthcare (including dental, vision, prescriptions), 4 day/32 hour workweek, cities built around humans instead of cars, housing/food/water as rights, climate Stalinism, and LGBTQ protections at least on par with Cuba. I would not subject a child to the horrors of neoliberalism under any circumstances.
That might be enough, but we may also need to abolish the family.
Come to think of it, reproduction rates can stay pretty low if humans lived indefinitely. That would also allow for the abolition of retirement. Very good for capitalists...
I doubt bourgeois science and public health can achieve that though.
Japan is actually well on its way there in that department. There is lots of train service and the sidestreets are only as wide as they need to be. There are no sidewalks but that's ok because humans clearly come first.
I've thought about trying to get into Japan but I'm blue collar, no degree, which makes me essentially unemployable. I just want to run a hostel in Hokkaido and ride my bike in the mountains.
