Do you live in Western society? There is a prevelant point of view that it is wiser to have children later, because otherwise it hurts your career.

I am not saying this is wrong. It does, though, decrease the number of kids we have.



That's not anti-natalism.


Agree. Anti birth would be my opinion: ask yourself, would the world be better off with the current amount of people in it or more, or with a small percentage fewer? People around you have kids anyway, that much is evident. So imo it's selfish, wanting entertainment or an excuse to meet other adults and make friends again or receive personal care at old age or whatever it may be. (But I also respect other people's opinions on this, and I don't bring this up with parents/pregnants (already too late anyway), just my own philosophy.) I haven't heard this be an official opinion of any country recently, let alone western society as a whole...


It also doesn't sound like propaganda.


And later pregnancy is more risky for both mother and child. To resolve this, socialist policies need to be introduced, decisively anti-capitalist policies that will theoretically harm a country's GDP (because it encourages people to not participate in the labour pool).


So I guess none of them.


What socialist (so-called) policies benefit older mothers more than young ones?
