  1. You are wrong to say "it appears the world has given up having children". It seems it only concerns non-islamic world

  2. Promoting children should come together with promoting and incentivising stable 2-parent families, with steady income and a large support network of grandparents, friends and church/community. Being a non-believer myself, I feel jealous about the community that churches offer, but I just can't force myself to listen to all the drivel about non-existent prophets and celestial intelligence. We should be realists, and realists must realise that we need to support monogamy and a community support network to allow people to procreate

  3. We need to allow commercial surrogacy and cut benefits at the same time. I'd like to see artificial wombs as well. Also we need to stop cramping people inside cities in homes without gardens and without large parks where kids could walk and play safely. We need smaller schools very close to homes so that kids can walk to school in max 10 minutes by themselves.

  4. Stop importing kids from aggressive populations

  5. We need schools that can keep children during full working day+commute, i.e. from 6am to 9pm. Give people flexibility to have free time while not compromising on the quality of children's education, and with no additional costs. Make it completely free for people who wouldn't otherwise afford it, but make it as expensive as private schools at the highest end of income/wealth spectrum
