I’ve found this to be one of the biggest flaws of capitalism itself. It’s pretty clear that capitalism and humanity itself needs to invest in nurturing the next generation in order to sustain long term growth, labour supply, pensions (until full automation) and yet the very same system makes it hell for anyone to actually have any kids. Just sucking the present workers dry and harming both the workers and the system itself in the long term. Most people are left with just enough money and energy to have one kid and barely survive in their jobs while nothing suggests to me that things have to be this way. The end goal of the economy has to be in producing human flourishing and well being and not goods.
