I see economcis stuff about birthrates in western countries every once in a while from economists (In addition to the white genocide types of course), and I do wonder what a state would do that took seriously issued of birthrate. For right now it’s not a critical problem, but I wonder what policies you would need. Universal childcare? Paid Surrogacy?
I do wonder about that last one sometimes actually, would it be possible to raise entire generations as basically wards of the state? Is that going to be the future? At some point hopefully, the world will be industrialized, so the current solution won’t last forever.
It depends on how serious they really are, and what the dominant ideology is.
Liberalism’s answer is to import immigrants, but if that weren’t feasible they’d begin running out of options before they’d have to switch to another ideology.
Someone like me would be willing to take more drastic measures as total collapse loomed, including having the state raise children on its own if necessary.
I don’t think really any state is serious about this. Not Japan, not even Singapore.
They very people who are capable of solving this problem (and most of our other big problems) are the ones disappearing. We’re fucked.
The IQ bleedoff is slow. We just have to make it another 20-30 years for genetic engineering, which China and Korea will pursue even if we don’t.
