Your solution to a collapse in the supply of labor, is to further restrict the supply of labor?
- dmm 3y agoIt's mostly a crazy idea to try and shift discussions away from the things that we know won't work. If we continue to squeeze young people they are going to continue making the same decisions. You can only eat the seed grain for so long before there's nothing to plant.
- reducesuffering 3y agoBans are silly. Before, societies didn't have social safety nets. Having kids and families was your safety net. If we have transitioned society to expect the state to provide safety nets through a system of taxes and disbursements, then we also need to account for the externalities of children in that system. That mostly looks like compensating parents and especially women for the societal benefits of having children in a market accounting for externalities.
