They knew the replacement rate was 2.1 babies and still consciously pushed the birth rate far below that. Now they are aggressively pushing it in the other direction. It's almost as if the government agency in charge of manipulating the population always needs to have something to do. They couldn't just say, "We've achieved our goal of 2 kids per family. Let's go home!" I suspect that the new initiative to increase the birth rate will drive it to at least 3 births per couple, and then there will be a new expensive initiative to reduce it again. That is how you create jobs.
