South Korea goes pro-natalist

With a fertility rate of 0.68 in 2024 they need to get moving. This should be priority no. 1 for the whole society and no cost should be too great. Most Western countries are heading toward South Korean birth rates so we need to get on it too.

Why children aren’t being had in Asian countries is entirely different than why they aren’t in Europe or America. If you applied this strategy in America you’d have the wrong people having kids for the wrong reasons. There’s no one size fits all solution to this.

Expand on who are the “wrong people” I want to check something.

 @GeckoBellaLibertarian from Florida disagreed…1mo1MO

the types who would only have a child because they're getting a government paycheck.

Cut higher rate taxes if you have a kid.. there you go, lots of babies had by those who can afford them

More tax breaks for the rich

 @RedStateDolphinVeteran from Michigan commented…1mo1MO

The middle class actually - rich people don’t clock in and work 9-5.. and poor people don’t pay tax at all

 @Bi11R1ghtsArielSocialist from Ohio disagreed…1mo1MO

Population replacement is a major potential issue. As it is, middle earners are increasingly unlikely to have children and they / we are exactly the people that should be raising children. More funded childcare, less tax disincentives required
