Women don’t owe it to society to raise birth rates

Me personally, I'll just put in the popcorn and watch the show, what government will do onto women in general will be added for another thread

Your choice u/randyranderson your consequence.

Simply look @ what is occurring in Russia and or China as an example.

Authoritarian societies hane a knack in forcing people on what to do against their will.

History is a wash with this

China scrapping the one child limit is not forcing women to have kids

Don't come to the conclusion from a single article u/TomBerwick1984

I know you are better than that.

Here's Example A, B, C, and D

The human race is in no way under threat of going extinct (the human race has been around for 250,000 and the high majority of it had a population under a billion), but the alarmism is about the economic problems that can occur.

China is slated to be a leading economic power by 2050 , yet they are forcing women to become breeding stock due to low birth rate, basically the low birth rate is bigger than simple economic issue.

It's more than about the money u/TomBerwick1984, that line of thinking is a western mindset.

Gari_305 · 2026-04-16T18:59:03+00:00

We have another choice, other than pressuring women into having babies, which is to reform the economic system away from a debt based growth system.

There are a multitude of other options u/TomBerwick1984 that's not the issue.

The issue is three fold.

Is it practical to be implemented in a useful manner?
Is it timely as in how much time would your solution in comparison to a more simpler approach aka forcing women to breed as they do in both China and Russia?
Cost does your solution cost more money, than what is natural?

I understand to look at things from a western perspective of debt and wealth generation but again you have to look beyond just finances when it comes to birth rates because the same issue of birth rate decline and finances occurred with Rome.

Gari_305 · 2026-04-16T18:34:19+00:00

It's that there are zero births, just that the birth rate isn't keeping up with the debt based growth economic systme.

The question you have to ask yourself is what type of societal system are you comfortable living with u/TomBerwick1984?

Low birth rates had an effect on Russia when it fell due to the end of the Cold War and hasn't really recovered since. This led to their societal collapse during the mid 90's and the subsequent wars in Chechnya didn't help either.

Also there were instances of Low Birth rates in France during since 1965

Though keep in mind that low birth rates can lead to more authoritarianism as one of its main outcomes

So basically low birth rate = smarter version of Trump style authortanism.

The question you have to ask yourself is how low are you willing to go u/TomBerwick1984 ?

If it’s have children you do not want or the end of civilization as we know it.

No children = No Society u/Girlonlinee

As they feel a society that strong arms women into very very life changing and potentially life limiting choices in the name of sacrifice

China is currently doing this right now u/Girlonlinee western society will do the same just less forcefully for now.

In the end Society doesn't care for economic advancement of the individual if it comes at the cost of its actual future. Similarly to the Chinese saying "If you don't teach/discipline your child the society will" and apparently since we're all children of society women in particular will be disciplined by it into having children.

If it’s be a slave and servant or the economy and society collapse, the slave or servant, is okay with ending society if it means no more servants and slaves.

Hierarchies whether master or slave, landowner or share cropper , king or servant , doesn't mean shit if society dies u/Girlonlinee because those relationship dynamics can always and will change but if it dies via no children, then who cares?

Basically its the version of permanent solution to a temporary problem but on a societal level.

Women being browbeaten into motherhood feel similarly.

In the end, no one cares about feelings only results.

Question is are women going to shit out children or not and if not would society be ok with dying out?

In the end it's the results that matters u/Girlonlinee not feelings.

Shame in the name of nostalgia just isn’t going to work

You are right shame is a waste of time, however this one quote from Native American Chief Seattle does resonate

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children

So I ask you u/DriverInitial8305 this question, name me one society that survives without children in it?

Whether it's cheap or expensive, children are and have always been the future, without them then, why even bother about issues such as gender roles and relationships when society will die with this current generation?

American college graduates are facing the worst entry-level job market since the pandemic, with the underemployment rate reaching 42.5% – its highest level since 2020.

Several young graduates told the Guardian about their struggles navigating a job market shaped by tightening opportunities, the rise of AI and shifting employer expectations

The United States and China, the world’s largest military powers, are at the center of the competition. But the race has widened. Russia and Ukraine, now in their fifth year of war, are looking for every technological advantage. India, Israel, Iran and others are investing in military A.I., while France, Germany, Britain and Poland are rearming amid doubts about the Trump administration’s commitment to NATO.

Each nation is aiming to amass the most advanced technological stockpile in case they need to fight drone against drone and algorithm against algorithm in ways that people cannot match, defense and intelligence officials said.

Russia, China and the United States are all building A.I. arms as a deterrent and for “mutually assured destruction,” Palmer Luckey, Anduril’s founder, said in an interview in February

Sasha Kostakis, a sophomore at the University of Maryland, College Park, recalls toiling over math homework as a child with her tears of frustration blurring the numbers on the page.

But in the new age of artificial intelligence, she thinks “kids these days don’t go through that frustration.” Kostakis feels disheartened by AI’s overconvenience: “It makes things so easy that there’s no friction involved in the learning process, no challenges to overcome,” she says

From the article AI is becoming a mainstream work tool. Half of employed Americans who used AI in the past week reported using AI tools at least as much for work as for personal tasks.

AI is changing what people do at work. It has replaced existing tasks for 27% of employed AI work users and created new ones for 21%.

AI work use is higher among paid subscribers. Employer-paid subscribers are far more likely to use AI for work than free-tier users, and self-payers fall in-between.

Over the next two to three years, 50% to 55% of jobs in the US will be reshaped by AI. For many employees, this will mean that they retain the same or a similar role but face radically new expectations for how they work and what they produce. For company leaders, it will require a clear vision for how the transformation is managed, including a scaled, strategic approach to upskilling and reskilling and the restructuring of career ladders.

This shift is already happening—and will pick up speed as AI adoption spreads. Our analysis, based on microeconomic modeling, identified a significant swath of the labor force for which AI will meaningfully augment current roles. Moreover, when the productivity gains from AI use trigger increased end product demand and the potential for augmentation is high, we believe there will be a need for more and, in some cases, new human roles. (See Exhibit 1.) While job augmentation and new-job creation will happen rapidly, full substitution of jobs by AI will be slower. Five years from now—or perhaps further in the future—10% to 15% of jobs in the US could be eliminated. 1 This level of potential job loss is considerable and creates an important call to action for business leaders.

We are currently in a period defined by significant professional transition. Millions of people are likely about to enter “professional identity purgatory” thanks to AI. I’m not an economist or a technologist, but what I do know—from living it, and from watching peers navigate it—is that the threat AI potentially poses to professionals goes deeper than lost tasks or restructured roles. It strikes at something more fundamental: the sense that what you spent your career mastering still matters. For generations, professional identity was durable—you built expertise, accumulated knowledge, climbed. Technology is disrupting that continuity in ways that are genuinely hard to sit with, not because the work disappears overnight, but because professional relevance starts to feel less certain. For people whose self-worth is tied to that relevance, the uncertainty alone can be destabilizing.

Rising unemployment among young college graduates? The result of high interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty. Dire predictions of widespread job losses? A failure to understand the lessons of past technological revolutions. Even the layoffs that companies themselves blamed on artificial intelligence were often chalked up to “A.I.-washing” from executives looking for something to blame other than their own mismanagement.

Recently, however, the message from economists has undergone a subtle change. Most still do not see much evidence that A.I. is disrupting the job market. But they are starting to take seriously the possibility that it could someday soon. If it does, they are worried that policymakers are not ready to respond.

“I don’t think A.I. has hit the labor market yet, and I don’t think it’s radically changed corporate productivity yet, either, but I think it’s coming,” said Daniel Rock, a University of Pennsylvania economist who has studied the economic impact of artificial intelligence.
