>>6067463you are correct in that the culture of generational easing does encourage population growth, but that comes with its own problems as well.
If parenting is done because it is convenient instead of a personal choice, it will also foster a much more hostile generational divide, as is seen in countries where this philosophy has met modern-day tech.
One such example is China and its elderly support laws. Many of the people who live under that system despise it because of how it commodifies them as people into being servants rather than family in the eyes of their parents. Of course, many others are okay with it or don't care about it either.
I don't disagree that such a system gives results. Still, I would personally rather disagree with encouraging such a culture purely from both a philosophical disagreement, as well as that there are other ways we can incentivise child-rearing. Like opening up parenting groups, improving the mental health and safety net, and giving free spacious housing allowing families to feel free to have more kids.
Most people in my experience, choose to be parents when they are mentally stable, are financially stable and a looming threat isn't on the horizon. Aka, in good times.
But we aren't in good times either. And I know I likely can't get my population cake and eat it morally correct as well lol.
