Make birth controls eligal.
lol
What's left is educating youths about this need, make it a civil honor/duty to have two kids or more, and big tax incentives for families with kids.
and
Ban contraceptives!
Hey don't look at me. I made 3 kids already, that's why I'm allowed to have vasectomy.
For the rest of white middle class, get busy. :heart:
Tax incentives for families with kids, or at least for single mums or dads, is something I would strongly support. For the rest, it is not that Europeans don't know they will get in trouble without children later on. But what to do if the basic conditions don't fit?
Here again the difference between the "New World" (USA, Canada, Australia etc.) and the "Old World" (Europe) becomes obvious: I think that the basic infrastructure for children (possibilities to take care of them when working, same applies to elderly people) is better in North America, because flexibility is part of life and culture. This is just starting to develope in Europe.
When you do your studies over here and take your first work experience in a certain field, you will be nailed to it for the rest of your life. Young people in Europe have to be more than careful which sort of studies and jobs they pick on. The result is that they invest a vast number of years into learning, studiyng and practical training. When they are finished and have enough money to raise a family, especially for ladies it gets hard as they don't have that much time anymore until fertility is over.
But life is getting longer, we are getting older and also healthier at a higher age, which means we will still work for decades until we retire. You can't expect a person to do the same job for over 40 or 50 years. [And some even say, you can't spend the same amount of years with the same wife or husband, whoops... shift of values]
But governments and companies here don't have any sympathy for that, simply because it has never been like that.
The problem is even well to be observed in Southern Europe, where traditionally families have been very large and everyone takes care of each other within. So elderly people and children are not that simply given away to other institutions like in Northern Europe. But the spirit of our time doesn't allow you to invest much time into your family, everything is about flexibility, flexibility, flexibility! Or you will end up on the bottom line of society. So what can young people in Southern Europe do? They simply don't produce any children, that's why birth rates are dropping.
This is one of the issues our govs have to set their focus on!
Back to immigration:
I guess that no one here would believe it, but especially in rural areas of Germany we have an extreme shortage of health workers (doctors, nurses, other therapists). This is also an area highly populated by elderly people, and chronical diseases have become somewhat epidemic. Higher production of health workers has already become too late, and the problem will intensify the following years. I think an immigration system similiar to Australia would reduce this problem, but the German government as well as the population shows their full schizophrenic and paranoid mentality in this country, which wasn't founded on immigration: We would like to welcome more doctors from other countries, but each time they arrive, they open their jackets and pull the string of their suicide bombs... :bored:
