  In some sense "more urbanization faster" does solve some of the problems here. But keep in mind you'd be transplanting people away from their social support networks into a higher cost of living area with a different economic composition, and there are costs (and risks) to all of that, especially if families are involved. If we paid for moving, housing, childcare, retraining, job placement, and frequent travel expenses back to keep up connections between children and extended family it'd make it trivial. Though you could probably just UBI people where they stand and it'd be cheaper.
