And I’m not saying it’s just money, but also just “earnest” messaging can have effects. If it’s coupled with socio economic conditions.
And right now we’re facing inevitable climate change, escalating wealth inequality, very high inflation, war in Europe with an outlook of more war, a huge refugee wave looming, automation and AI relegating job security to a historical concept, uncertainties about future horrors technology, social media effecting how people perceive reality… so obviously it’s not just that.
And yeah, I agree, many women today don’t want to curtail their careers by dropping out of their job for a decade. But that is also at least partially a manufactured attitude through advertising and PR and can be changed. Except it’s counter to capitalism.
But I’d be curious why you think money alone couldn’t solve this fertility crisis. Or what could. I highly doubt any western country has offered enough money that would make up for giving up the second income.
Because women don’t just need money to have as many children as society wants.
Women don’t want to have as many children as society demands.
And unless we’re going to take away birth control and abortions and reproductive health options and continue to allow child marriage, I don’t think this is a trend we’re going to reverse quickly if at all.
And personally? That simply isn’t an option that should be considered.
Alright alright lol that is the better study.
