It is not yet a fully defined policy, but is this a way forward, and what will the church answer to such a pilicy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should make as meny children as possible, because there is not enough people yet. Who cares who feeds them. I think the biggest problem with to meny children is with slum dwellers and they dont pay taxes anyway, so i dont think they will care. They will keep making more babys for the evergrowing slums... Funny thing is that in Europe its the other way around... European countries are trying to get people to have more babys as the "white" race is slowly dying off.

Not easy to be a politician. This thing about population growth is as you say, today a problem connected to economic status. Well off parents do not have more than one-two children, they are full up with so many other things too. And funny enough, they expect a much higher cost for each child, due to future needs and schooling. In a poverty stricken area, children are instead a security for the future, the more the merrier as at least one will bring fortune to the home. Yes, a tax incentive, I feel too, will miss its mark completely. But knowing that, and supporting the idea in the first place, HOW do you inspire people to actively planning the family?
