Chronic_IntermissionNatalism: The New Hotness
grrgyleAntinatalism what what - don’t make fresh when plenty actual living kids need rescuing.
I watched a video recently on how South Korea is pretty fucked because of their declining birth rate. 2.1 is fine by me.
There is nothing bad about going back to a sustainable population level. The cost for raising a child is greater than the cost for taking care of elderly. When elderly die that frees up resources for the next generation making it even easier.
The problem with declining population is the huge bubble pop you get when the population is mostly elderly people and few workers.
Right, but this can be resolved with immigration.
That’s not a solution, that’s just outsourcing the childbirth
Outsourcing is a solution.
If the original goal (as stated) is maintaining sustainable population levels, not really, since that implies maintaining the same population level, just outsourcing part of the childbirth (and potentially raising and education)
