As if the parental support policies offered would come anywhere close to balance the imbalance that a child would bring between work, money and free time. I will throw an olive branch and not mention the stress caused by the imbalance of those.

or, and this is just a crazy thought, people are having fewer kids because they want fewer kids?
It has gone down in all countries due to urbanization. Question is what is different compared to other similar countries
Women get too old before they start having kids and then it turns out it doesn’t happen immediately. Then the real stress begins which further makes it harder to conceive.
me likely my calm evenings, clean apartment and cash in account without dealing with rampant bulling at school, teenage issues or supporting them financially well in their 30s for down payment for their first property.
Those who want kids very often either
– don’t find a fit partner to have a family with.
– delay having kids too long and are no longer fertile.
I have never heard of a person who wants a family but stays childless because of government not giving enough money for that.
What a shocker, when everything else has gotten even more expensive.
I wonder if it’s due to how the job market has pushed people into the cities that notably lack a sense of local community and easy ways to form bonds with others. Add in the emphasis of performance centric individualism in current society and you have created an environment where having children is seen as a hindrance and a stressor against your individual success/survival, rather than a happy event in the community and a cause for celebration.
The only people who want children go through great concerted effort to do so, including going out of their way to find a suitable partner and planning their career and financial affairs in a way that supports it. The nuclear family has become a lifestyle, not the default state of existence that it used to be when people naturally gravitated towards it through environmental incentives.
South Korea is extreme case of this. I tend to agree.. It is about affordable family housing in big cities where all the people are. Now in Helsinki, as in Soul, you have to get your university masters and twenty years of working experience to be able to afford a big family home that you have seen on tv so many times. Also it doesn’t help that every five years comes a recession of some sort to make you start all over again. I think that there just is not enough political will and monetary resourcies to support young people and our broken ass economy does not encourage to do anything more. Helsinki should build more and let us hope that it lowers the prices compared to wages. Otherwise we import the babies and workforce that we cannot produce ourselves.
In this economy ?
Hahahaha! If anything, parental support policies have gone/are going down the drain because of the current government.
And by how much has the standard of life plummeted since 2010?
