Quite a good survey, touches on many of the direct factors, but misses the underlying issues of social status and value of parenthood and children. Children are not wanted in society. How many businesses have creches or play areas for their

A lot of people say "productivity" when they mean work intensity or pace. Productivity is about the value delivered per keystroke. Pace is about keystrokes per hour, or whatever metric you want to use. Managers love to chant &quot

Yes. Heretical opinion: we should have much stronger merit-based gating on access to university. You can get in if you can demonstrate facility with real analysis, matrix algebra, and Bayesian reasoning. Imagine how much the general level o
