Key in pronatalist policy may be interventions that are cultural. About familiarising the young public with a lifestyle in which one could be a parent. Among all the factors that affect fertility rates, this may be the most neglected: the need for interventions that normalize and celebrate the concept of parenthood.

Our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

Inflation can have a significant impact on individuals and their cost of living. As a result, it can cause negative market sentiment. It is important for individuals and businesses to find ways to navigate and potentially mitigate the effects of inflation on their finances. The current economic climate, including underperformance of financial markets due to fear of inflation, has led to a decrease in the value of my portfolio. I would appreciate any recommendations on how to potentially increase returns during this market downturn.

Are you suggesting women should just stay at home churning children, thus causing the population to increase indefinitely on a finite planet? Has it occured to you that when women had 10 children each, the majority of them would die before reaching 1 year of age? You can't have stay-at-home mums and virtually 100% survival rate. If you want women to stay at home you need to cancel industrialisation.

In short, expansion is FAR more dangerous than contraction.

I think the comment, "having children is no longer central to the decisions young adults are making" is right on the money. I think it's no longer central because it gradually (or rapidly, depending on how you view history) seemed to be about personal choice. Having kids became a lifestyle choice in the '80s and '90s after the sexual revolution took off and so some people felt fine with not having them, which, of course,we're all fine with. Of course. For other reasons, it became harder to make having kids central. A lot of women basically aged out of being able to get all the variables of husband, home, marriage and job aligning. So the fewer 'traditional' families there were, the more normal it became to not be in one. Once something is normalised it is really hard to unnormalise it. Starting a family, rearing a family -- having kids -- is not easy. In fact, it's actually quite hard. It has never been easy but it was 'normal' (before reliable contraception) to have them. It no longer is. It may become normal not to have them, or for only a few 'outliers' to have them. If having kids isn't central to one's life than having them at all is put at risk. If it is left to being a kind of fringe lifestyle then yes, the human race will go out of business. That is indeed the risk here. I don't know why that isn't talked about more.

Populations in ecology rise and decline constantly. It's a negative feedback loop. You can't extrapolate the future based on the present without considering the conditions of the future. As population declines, human labor will become more valuable and potentially promote more fertility. As it stands, being alive as a young person is fraught with the risk of being a useless burden. Labor and human time has been priced as nearly worthless in the capital markets. This trend will shift eventually.

The cost of housing is not why the fertility rate is low. She neglects to mention that the highest fertility rates in the world are currently found in Central Africa where people's living standards are lower than even the poorest people in the first world. Fertility rates in the United States were also higher when people lived on farms in multigenerational homes. People were having children in homes back when they lived with their parents and their grandparents under the same roof. I haven't heard anything interesting or novel from this interview.

The cost of living is skyrocketing, example a 1 bedroom apartment in San Bernardino CA is 1900 dollars. These new generations are barely able to pay for the standard basket of goods found in the CPI unadjusted. Meaning not excluding housing and energy.This most acute in densely populated areas. Texas will not stay low and attractive long, even though it has a favorable tax and regulatory environment. More demand on basic services will require more money fund through consumption tax or income tax. Meaning cost of living increase, some ignore that fact in demographic analysis or individuals in fertility decisions. The later has enormous impact in poverty, which in turn effects future fertility.

An 18yo woman has a child who will be 18yo and has a child at the same time another woman has her first child at 36. Three people vs two people for that single scenario. The first 18yo (grandmother) may have has six kids, the second 18yo had three kids in the time the 36yo woman had one kid.

Interesting discussion, and thanks for posting it... but it kind of blows my mind that you can talk for over 40 minutes about declining fertility and not once mention a huge elephant in the room: religiosity. Religious people have more kids, and all the places where fertility is falling, in addition to getting richer, also have dramatically declining religiosity. Children are a huge sacrifice, so if people don't have some kind of meaning in their lives beyond material pursuits -- which children are an impediment to -- telling them to have more is going to be a hard sell, and just tinkering with naive technocratic solutions like "child care subsidies!" isn't going to make a dent. I'm not even making a value judgment here about whether the decline in religiosity is itself good or bad, but if you fail to even acknowledge that this huge factor exists, you're never going to make real progress understanding this issue.

Feminism has tried to confound the idea that the natural desire to have a family is not to be pursued due to their misguided understanding on family life and relationships. Men also have acquired a similar misunderstanding. Family life is complicated and difficult and to be avoided versus the more satisfaction garnered from being single per the current social construction and mental attitudes. This is most likely going to be cyclical as new generations do not buy into an ignorant misinformed opinion that has been developed (intentionally) by certain groups of individuals. Eventually the "well" will no longer be poisoned by sad motivations that are pushed on society by self-involved individuals. Melissa seems to be a very open minded capable thinker - much better than most people.

Our current economic model is also getting rid of people. If the working class and middle class increasingly can't afford a humble home, have increasingly poorer working contracts (zero hour) and working conditions this makes the possibility of raising children less viable. Who wants to raise children in a tent or a vehicle when although you're working you can hardly afford the basics of life? Isn't this just a more sneeky form of eugenics ie, making sure people on low wages and working long 'servant' like hours cannot afford children?
