I think we agree here and are coming at it from two different directions. I don't think people should HAVE to have children; I think we should be taking better care of ALL of our people; I think that society needs to understand that long term investment in our people is the only real way forward. I liked your comment. I don't have time to dig into the sources but will later. Thanks for sharing it!

> I don't think people should HAVE to have children; I think we should be taking better care of ALL of our people I don't think these two sentences go well together. To take better care, we need younger people to provide care, food, entertainment, security and other comforts for an old person. And if that person hasn't paid their dues[1] by raising the next generation, then I don't think society owes them anything. [1] of course, there are exceptions like having medical problems which bar you from having kids. But I am talking about selfish individuals who don't want to do the hard work of raising kids.
