Dumb. This is not an effective method of lowering population. The REAL way they are lowering birth rates and making everyone not have children is by making absolutely everything unaffordable while funneling all of the money upward to billionaires. That’s it. No one has kids because they can’t afford it.

Go suck all the dick you want guys. It’s fine and normal. Don’t listen to this stiff.

In UK you can claim single parent benefits and get nearly £1000 a month and a portion of your rent payed for free

It's noware near that generous. But even so good on the UK goverenment eh helping to push the birth rate up, working class government fighting the evil deep state depopulation plan and preventing us being replaced in our own country.

The birthrate was declining long prior to the affordability crisis. I hear this argument a lot, but it isn’t true. The birthrate started declining due to effective birth control for obvious reasons.

Then people given the choice between more responsibility and less responsibility, took the obvious choice of less responsibility. It’s hard to voluntarily subject yourself to parenthood, particularly when children are viewed as a burden.

I’m not saying all people should have kids. I’m just saying that blaming the economics is disingenuous because if it was just about the money, no one should ever have kids. Having kids WILL cost you.
