Which seems to say that the Chinese government wants cheap workers for its economy, both as industrial workers and as health care for the elderly.
Is that really what's supposed to influence Chinese women to change their minds?
Is that why you think China needs to quickly increase its natality?
What if you and the Politburo are wrong, and the increase is best put off for another generation while China switches to a more culture which doesn't regard "women's labor" as free and instead pays more for socialized childcare and elder care?
Waiting would also make housing cheaper, which would make it more affordable to raise children.
It's easy for me to believe the interests of military, factory, and building concerns are overly represented in the call for raising the birth rate now, instead of waiting.
