Birthrates are falling, falling, falling, and without kids, well there is no future
One of what seems to be consistent is that if you increase work flexibility or remote work (without decreasing job security) , people want to have more kids, and this seems to be double validated in Singapore
As we RTOing all over the globe, we may be doing it at the expense of the future.
Maybe if the future was, I don’t know, brighter? These band-aids won’t cut it as long as we are all aware of impending and now unavoidable disaster.
At what point do we address the fundamental flaw of “fixing” falling birthdates and also softening the blow of human-caused climate change?
No. Culture and a hopeful future ar erhe only way. It is more than just where you work.
Given current technological trends, it does not seem prudent to populate the planet with humans who are increasingly devalued economically and societally due to the automation of labour. In this context, I do feel like the problem of underpopulation might be somewhat exaggerated, at least from a more humanist point of view.
You would need space to put kids. Affordable housing is key.
It’s almost like they’re all in denial of the real change needing to raise the birth rate and just keep getting one piece of it here or there.
Make it so you can afford to buy a house in 20 years max on minimum wage, make it so you only need to do exactly 8 hours max a day with a one hour break, with no overtime needed and no ridiculous travelling, just hire enough people locally or make it remote work (the piece that this article actually got).
Also ban all donations from companies to political parties or politicians, only individuals and limit that to a low amount anyone can afford so no one person can gain more political power than anyone else just because they have more wealth, also ban politicians from having any outside investments or businesses. They should be entirely reliant on the masses opinion of their policies with no other biases.
You’d do well to throw government subsidized childcare in there, also paternity and maternity leave extended long enough for parents to settle into their new lives.
May sound like I’m asking for a lot to some people, but who cares, that’s my price to have children. If it’s not satisfied then I won’t do it. End of. I’m sure a lot of others feel the same. I need to see society going in the right direction that’s best for us poor masses instead of the rich so I can have hope for the future and the future of any children I’d have.
Otherwise, screw that.
