Already 1/4 of pensioners in Japan are working, and their female participation rate in work is very high. There is only so far you can push these compensations.
Given that the whole world is close to below replacement rate even immigration is going to run out of steam soon.
The solution is managed decline. Decide which towns you want to save and which ones you are happy to lose, and then centralise resources while slowly retreating into the big cities.
I’ll save everyone some time.
Stop price gouging us. Pay us fair wages with fair benefits. World leaders should actually care about the environment.
Fairly simple.
In the US, we need government sponsored maternity leave, tax breaks, free healthcare for children up to 18 (or through college if they attend), subsidized childcare, housing tax incentives. The goal really should be to incentivize people starting families earlier versus in their late 30s.
Just let it happen and create a society that doesn’t require a generational pyramid scheme to work.
Need more babies so they can be unemployed by ai
Work less , have sex more, cheaper rent helps
By raising birth rates.
The method should be obvious (i.e. stop making it so difficult), but our legislatures value short term profits for billionaires and increasing wealth inequality higher than they do the future of the human race.
Countries get what they fund. If they want people to have children, then they have to pick up the tab for children. Which as always means the rich are going to have to pay more taxes. Until the rich pay their fair share, we will not have more children.
Trade fairly with the humans and they will probably have more kids. IN the US at least nothing is fair. Nothing! Work is unfair, housing is unfair, School is unfair, Food is poisonous and expensive, Laws are unfair for the people. Bottom line we live in a slave like society so why would we have kids just so they can live slave lives to support the filthy rich?
With AI and robotics forcing more and more people out of work all the time, with no hope of a UBI in sight, and young people finding it more and more difficult to afford the basics, it’s the short-sighted who can’t see that we don’t need 8 billion people on this planet.
Falling birth rate is a fact and countries will have to accept it and adapt to it. It’s time for a new economic paradigm that is not dependent on infinite growth based on an ever expanding population on a finite planet.
cmon our planet is over-populated now. deal with climate and famine that’s the real challenge
Let’s see cheaper housing, universal health care, better pay, actually try to fix the environment, and paid maternity leave for both men and women. Doing things like giving enough pay for one parent to stay at home full time and reducing the work week would also help.
Everyone says that by creating more support for families, the birth rate will improve. I tend to disagree. I think our society has become too selfish for people to make the time sacrifices necessary for having children, completely ignoring the financial issues. I think the most likely outcome is that government will start raising children and will use AI bots to fill the parental role that most people have abandoned out of their selfishness. This will allow government to sustain the population growth that is necessary for consumer markets to allow capitalism to function.
Most likely China will be in an early adopter of this policy once it becomes possible to conceive and grow a baby in a artificial uterus.
The media and entertainment keep pushing democrats, so the birth rates keep falling for western cultures.
Ok so the solution is make people work until they die. While CEOs can retire at 50 profiting from the above mentioned.
There is no need.
Birthrates are falling but so are job opportunities.
The main reason for nations to want people to keep pumping out more people is because of the labor force.
The labor force is about the be replace with automatons and AI.
Thus the panic about birth rates is irrelevant.
We are not going extinct we are plateauing.
8 billion is a good number. it will go up again when we colonize other homes out there.
This can be fixed with a combination of:
– cure aging
– AI
– AI + humanoid robotics
Simple. Pay people to afford kids mind blowing they put all this effort into the subject when its just money lol.
Let it happen. The main reason why falling birth rates are such a huge issue is because it conflicts with our bullshit system that demands perpetual endless growth in a finite system. The folks at the top have knowingly made it harder and harder to house and feed yourself as a working class person, let alone 2.1 kids. As a species we will be fine, even the richest people at the top will be fine. They’ll just make slightly less money than they would have if the population kept growing and the low wage work force continued to grow with it. Never mind automation.
