Religion is the only answer. There’s a lot of Muslims in Paris. So that will resolve the issue of demographics in France.
high skilled immigration.....well I guess that idea is moot.
“Why paying women to have more babies won’t work”
Seems to me that since the result of giving women career opportunities was a PLUNGING birthrate, the solution to the problem is quite simple.
(sorry gals, but remember you’ll lose too if the country goes down the drain)
“Why paying women to have more babies won’t work”
Never heard if Welfare mothers ...
That and the end of socialism, which was enacted for the exact purpose of population elimination.
Was gonna say. We’re already there.
Y’all know we’d have more babies, if the laws were
more equatable.
Guys getting economically and emotionally raped by women in the courts doesn’t go over well.
I used to work with a guy that said he’d get married and a few years later give a house to his wife and her “new boyfriend,
Divorce should be more difficult!
Full disclosure;My mother had 4 husbands. I’ve seen how women break homes.
I’ve been married nearly 47 years to the same woman.
Better to eviscerate the Rats’ abortion evangelism that’s poisonous to the natural gift of motherhood.

Sorry but the catostrophic genetic losses in Russia, Western Europe and Japan from 1914-1945 can never be replaced. From 1960 on widespread effective birth control and abortion further decimated the population. In China bizarre “one child only” brutal policies have been a demographic debacle.
More like 1,000 years. The Spaniards and the Portuguese colonized the New World after the Reconquista.
I don't know what you mean by that, but I oppose "high skilled immigration."
Low-skilled immigrants compete with our native born working class, depressing their wages.
High-skilled immigrants compete with our native born college grads, depressing their wages.
We don't need IT workers from India, or nurses from the Caribbean, or doctors from wherever. We need to prioritize American students in STEM college classes and STEM fields once they graduate.
Whatta laff
“The Economist” - a snooty UK EuroSocialist claptrap rag - used to rail about “overpopulation” back 30 years ago, wringing their hands about what to do, what to do when we’re all crowded into tiny teeming tenements.
They said women going into the workforce and delaying children would “save the planet”.
Now they say it’s a problem but nothing you can do about it?
They caused the problem with their misanthropic nonsense.
Why listen to them on the flip side?
“We need to prioritize American students in STEM college classes and STEM fields once they graduate”
We’d love to but the US schools are full of bozos from India, China, Latin America, the Caribbean and of course Africa.
And they’re all “Protected Classes”...unlike the American kids who get the cold shoulder from the anti-American admissions office (DEI forever!).
Direct subsidies would encourage the wrong people to have children for the wrong reasons.
A better answer would be to restrict immigration. This would put upward pressure on wages and downward pressure on housing, which together would encourage families and children. There was once a time when people could support a family with one income, and still afford to buy a home.
Lyndon Baines Johnson disproved this thesis when he destroyed the black family unit.
I can think easily of two dozen professional women, all married/heterosexual partners, and there is a total of eight children out of those 24 women. Two of those women have two children each. The rest have a single child or none.
If I were American, I’d be in favor of a total immigration ban- at least for the coming years.
Maybe a better immigration law could be devised during this immigration pause. Or immigration to the US could be suspended indefinitely.
America could simply say to the rest of the world: „sorry, we are full. No more immigration.“
But of course I, as an alien, have no right to interfere in America’s affairs - am just dreaming.🙁
P.S.: thank you very much for your kind words in the other thread😀
Low fertility, as well as high abortion rates, and bad mating and parenting choices, can be fixed for free: give back the return on investment for raising prosperous children to the rightful recipients. Give parents all the socialist security related deductions from their children’s future paychecks. That is functionally how it worked throughout most of history, and still does in most of the world.
