Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.

That's how you see a spike in birth rates.

To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.

See, easy.

    Then they do the calculation on the costs to raise the children and decide it's not economically viable.

    It’s always economically viable, just a matter of tracking all the expenses and adding it to the child’s debt. As soon as it’s old enough to work you can garnish it’s wages for all that unpaid debt

    It would be economically viable up to a certain age. And if you maintained a certain age average, costs could be easily maintained to sustainable levels.

    When you start analyzing the world and people as a series of costs and expenses, it's very easy to find solutions.

    As humans, we've already done that many times before .... most recently in the 1940s on an industrial scale .... we are capable of doing it again.

    They're taking the opposite approach.

    In the past families had a bunch of kids because they needed extra laborers to stay afloat, plus childhood mortality rates were so dire they needed spares to cover for the ones who wouldn't make it.

    We're already seeing pushes towards removing child labor laws, and RFK Jr is well on his way to ensuring death from easily preventable diseases makes a comeback.
