And what about all the people who somehow expect corrupt governments to provide their pension plans? What of the saying that "blood is thicker than water"? Isn't security in one's own family or in having many children, possibly more reliable than trusting in the economy and government? I figure if you want old-age-security, you have far more security in having 10 children than in having 1. 10 children is a large range of possibilities, that at least one of your children will be in a good position to take you into their home, when or if you become old or disabled, and do it willingly and be glad to do it. Having only 1 child is a huge burden on the children. So this 1 child is responsible for 2 parents and 4 grandparents? Is that even realistic?

Sadly with climate change, will decrease population. As people grow, and become more capitalistic, people will want those type of goods that the middle class all wants.. now if you have billions of middle class people world wide, thats a impossible scenario to achieve as soo much pollution, plastic waste, trash, tons of other issue would occur. Thats why climate change is occurring at a fast rate, cause societies are advancing from that "poor" conservative era; poor conservative cultures tend to over populate, as thats the only way they survive and their religion to survive, as this applies world wide; When liberalism and modern societies come in, less population growth, less marriages, less children being born. As no one wants kids.

It's causing rising unemployment and under-employment rates that are contributing to younger generations no longer having disposable incomes. A lot of younger people will get scolded by older generations who no longer understand how the economy works and get frustrated that their children and grandchildren aren't leading the same lives that they did decades ago.
