What governments and corporations never understand and will never want to understand is that ....
... it isn't about the quantity of life ... or even the quantity of people who are alive or are born
... it's about the quality of life
If everyone lives a comfortable, safe and fulfilling life without risk of poverty or losing everything they have, then they are more likely to have children and raise them to become productive people who will contribute to society.
Otherwise if you don't take care of people, they will either have no children or a bunch of children that will all grow up to become a burden to society.
There's a climate catastrophe caused by human overpopulation. How did you miss that?
The climate catastrophe is caused by a hyper-reliance on fossil fuels & deliberately shitty transport infrastructure (i.e. the private automobile & it's consequences), entirely for financial reasons; not just raw numbers of people.
