Tax the rich.

Create better pathways for legal immigration and make life in modern society less dystopic so that people actually want and can financially afford to reproduce.

Let population go down.

Remove low density housing downtown and built higher density. Have a land value tax. Prices will drop.

Actually educate and train the local workforce. Only allow immigration when it meets certain requirements or from very close countries. E.g. you have a business with 10 engineers with 5 years of experience. Prove you have tried to hire 10 engineers with 0 years of experience and none have been made redundant in the last 5 years. If there is a country wide shortage of those engineers with 5 years of experience then you can hire foreigners. Have lower business taxes in places with high unemployment. Public works for things like high speed rail and cycle paths.

Have free child care and free things for teenagers to do.

Taxes would go up but so would employment and discretionary income. Crime would drop.

Would be a win, win, win.

All it would require it telling members of the aristocracy, land owning MPs, and rich baby boomers all to fuck off.

Edit: also cheap renewable energy, robotics and precision fermentation is going to destroy the labour market anyway. So that’s going to be a whole thing we need to deal with.

This question ends with that a country shouldn’t compete with other countries but provide a good living environment for it’s citizens.

Guulotines for the oligarchy.

Developed countries should make a family affordable.

As additional support, make it easy for cities to organize events where people can meet. Maybe love hotels and mixers like in Japan would be good too.

On a serious note, we as a society needs to setup our priorities in the right places. Most people around me are struggling to pay for their living expenses, even after getting higher education degrees, they are struggling to get jobs. How can people think about having children when the society is built around extreme capitalism? (Get as much money from consumers as they can pay)

Some people see global population increase as a cause for concern. Some, often the same people consider national population decline a problem. Is it really that difficult to arrive at a conclusion under these circumstances?
