Who said anything about killing extra children ? They are just proposing 100,000 rupees for limiting to one baby. or some minor economic disincentives for more than 2 babies, on top of which are already there in practice and naturally for even 1 baby.
By your logic, if we needed more babies you would stop educating women ? Education and baby making are orthogonal issues.
- watwut 5y agoEducated women who have larger control of their lives tend to choose to have less children. That is how it works. Stopping to educate women and limiting our ability to make own decisions would probably made women have less children. It would however be unethical, cruel and oppressive.
- creamytaco 5y agoYour argument holds no water and is exposing you as indulging in binary thinking. Educating women is one possible way to deal with the issue, that doesn't mean it is the _only_ way. Like someone else said, it will take at least a generation for effects to kick in. On the other hand, the policies that the article refers to can be effective immediately (and also applied together with other measures such as educating women).
- watwut 5y agoActually, effect is faster then generation, because effect starts way sooner then when they have PhD. Also, there is no binary thinking involved in what I wrote. This effect is real and repeated itself multiple times.
