I have longed come to the conclusion that we are social beings even more than we are economic beings.

Reversing fertility drops will require social solutions in addition to economic solutions. I.e we need economic incentives but we also need to find ways to “make it cool” to have babies and have women in child bearing age be in close social circles with women having kids. And we have to all that while respecting all the gender equality gains we have made in the modern world. Not an easy solution

That or make the economic incentives super huge



In general, in crisis, people aren’t going to go for the complex solution. They’ll go with the simple one.

If addressed sooner, then it won’t be a crisis. Do you think that will happen?
