One of the greater correlations on maternal happiness is whether she has access to supportive childcare (whether self or govt funded). A single mother, literally "doing it on her own" without any outside help is perhaps more likely to be most-miserable.
It would make sense to me that if our Oligarchies want to increase population replacement (fertility) rates, perhaps they ought'a consider excess profit-seeking outside of child-rearing products; an increase to publicly-funded daycares would definitely help.

- mrguyorama 3y agoBut women with no access to affordable child care or sex education or birth control or proper reproductive rights and health care tend to get knocked up all the time. On average, they have more children too. If you don't value the lives of Women, that's a much easier, cheaper, and more effective "solution" to birth rates. It's also popular enough to enough Americans to be the explicit plan/goal/effort of the Republican party in many states. It's much easier to exploit a worker that grew up in a poor family too.
