Hot take time.
Not having children, thus decreasing future population actually solves a decent amount of problems:<p>Less pressure on the housing market, so maybe owning a home becomes actually feasible for regular people. Hopefully, prices come down enough so that renting stops being a thing.<p>Lowers labor supply, thus increasing competition for it, especially, hopefully, in the lower salary bracket. Or maybe, even better, less of human life would be wasted mopping floors and what not, because hiring some sucker is cheaper than buying a robot or whatever.<p>Less people means less pollution and general toll on the surroundins (less water used for irrigation, less overfishing and so on).<p>Hopefully motivating people to get children includes making raising them suck less for those, who decide to have them.<p>Less disposable lives means higher cost and lower probability of armed conflicts.<p>Obviously it brings problems of it's own.
Thing is, people not having children has probably more to do with some sort of societal crisis, than with better access to contraception, sex ed and what not. Population has exploded in the last 100 years, maybe it was a bubble of sorts all along, and now it's starting to burst?<p>Anyways, fine by me. We either make living suck less, or make less people go through that. Seems like a win-win to me.
