Keep procreating
That's the message of this interesting (but -- warning -- long) Reason magazine piece about the coming "depopulation" crisis. It says, in essence, that after worrying about overpopulation for years, countries around the world now fear alling fertility rates (though not so much in the U.S.). In turn, gender roles in those countries are changing.
If we move to Europe to have our babies, the article says, the moms among us might get a lot of great bennies (time off, subsidized day care, etc.) ... but also, a not-so-subtle message to "return to home and hearth."
What do you think?
