Has there ever been any anti-natalist government that tried to reduce the population by strongly discouraging all childbirth?

More children means more pollution, and yet developed countries are trying to increase birth rates to sustain economic ponzi schemes at the expense of the environment.

#Food that goes to a #FoodBank would have been thrown away as #FoodWaste otherwise. The #people who rely on them most are the #elderly. #FoodInsecutity has skyrocketed under #Trump, despite #BirthRates plummeting.

So the #lie that #poor people are draining food banks by having too many #kids, dripping with #classism and #antinatalism, is garbage.

#Pronatalist policies have been shown as ‘impotent’ in budging the long-term #fertility rates. The root problems are #economic uncertainty, problems with #housing, #childcare availability and #gender #inequality in the household," said Connecting Generations Co-Director Professor Melinda Mills MBE in today's The Telegraph:

Abstract
In societies experiencing declining birth rates, understanding factors that influence childbearing decisions is of interest. We used a factorial survey experiment to investigate how scenarios of future caregiving responsibilities toward aging parents and employment uncertainties shape the expected childbearing behavior of a fictitious couple. Respondents from the nationally representative German Socio-Economic Panel Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS) (n = 1,750) were randomly assigned to five vignettes, each describing a hypothetical couple with varying levels of caregiving responsibilities towards an aging parent and employment uncertainties.

After the Spike and the Myth of Depopulation

After the Spike by Dean Spears and Michael Geruso focuses on #depopulation, but its arguments are built on shaky ground, stirring up fear, rather than focusing on the facts. What’s more troubling is the authors don’t disclose their funding from Elon #Musk, who has frequently made headlines with his concern over low #BirthRates. Here we’ll break down the flaws in their arguments.
