Re: US politics: baby bonus

[(Anonymous)]

The "lack of replacement humans" lower birthrates are almost global.

It's also a sign of overall societal progress. It means that more women have access to effective birth control and can choose if and when they want to have children, and that there's less societal pressure to get married and have children just as a matter of course even if that isn't what you want to do with your life. It's not a bad thing in the slightest.

Plus we all understand the planet is well over carrying capacity for human civilisation at comfortable lifestyle levels. We need to get that number down to three-four billion tops. It is going to take hundreds of years to get those numbers down, barring some godawful pandemic in Asia or Africa. We do need to heavily target those continents, especially Africa, in birth reduction information and birth control. That is where the work needs to be done. Not in trying to get the Global North to try and compete in raising numbers, but in making the Global South drop theirs to match.

Yep. People want to enjoy their family life, not be pressed into it. Elderly people in my area are often one of 8-12 kids, born in the 1930s-1940s to work on family farms. Most of those baby boomer (or just before) generation themselves had a maximum of 4 kids, though I do know one that had 11. Their grandchildren are having 1-2 kids, though I know a few families with 4. At the same time, the number of people needed to work a farm has plummeted, and the cost of raising children has gone up.

Yeah, and when women choose when to have children and how many they want, then it's much healthier for both the woman and the kids because mom isn't overwhelmed and the kids don't get parentified into being constant babysitters for their younger siblings.
