Until recently most marriages had to do with arrangement and the union of families and not love in the first place. To consolidate wealth.

@CordeliaWagner 2.4 is the fertility rate globally. 2.1 is replacement. There is no problem.

I have to say in the west a person can marry while in college, even have a child.

@ohno7153 they spent about 10 years telling everyone to have 2. 30 years telling people to have 1. The last 10 telling some to go ahead with a second (if both only children) the ultimately everyone to try for three. However they set up the economy, housing, life to accommodate single people or couple with 1 kid. Few have siblings, aunts and cousins. Those wanting positions that depend on party will marry young and have 2. Everyone else already has been brainwashed into the company line that they spent 2 generations instilling in the public. Yet they still have quotas, you need to have permission to marry and they still keep tabs on pregnancies.

No government should encourage less than 2 or more than 4 for more than 10 years. And then never forced.

@cultusdeus most universities in Utah and Idaho manage that very well. BYU for instance. Heck you don’t need to go to a brick and mortar building anymore.

@PhilJonesIII the during the baby booms in the US a lot of people well off. Just saying. Poverty is just a designation for the lowest x percentage of people financially. It really doesn’t have anything to do with how many have enough and then some.

You can. Just like you can force them to abort.

When Korea tries to restrict after hours tutoring or classes the result is parents and hagwon doing it anyway. I think even if the gov ordered the school to close certain parents would make sure their students study during those hours online or some other way. For fear their child will be the unemployed one if they are not scoring high enough.

You can’t tell people to have 2 for 10 years and then 1 for another 30 and all that propaganda in two generations are not going to switch over overnight. They should not encourage only 1 or at least 3.

@ChickensAndGardening it would all depend the eldest member of the family.

The gov wants people to buy the new homes constructed. If anyone has rice, shoes, medical access, education and a place to live with temp control they are not poor.

Stop allowing or forbidding so much.

Northeast Asia has the longest working hours in the developed world. Why should there be any unemployment rate. Make employers send workers home after 8 hours and hire the unemployed. 2 people working 12 hour days do less work than 3 people working 8 hour days.

@tobucksy I think they already are versed in sex ed.

@julianskinner3697 but there are more deaths and less births in a number of countries. It is not better that there are less humans globally. We have seen the lengths they will go to reduce the population what will they do to increase it? Will children be growth artificially in a lab and then educated by the state, it’s mom and dad all in one? China sees Japan economy dropping down on the list and does not want to follow. S Korea has been spending billions trying to increase population cause they fear as well. Iran, Singapore, Russia, France and Germany are all ‘paying’ people or spending lots of money and promising lots of thing for couples to have babies. Russia is a clear example of how this is bad. When the free refrigerators and land and medal of parenthood failed they invaded their largest former Soviet neighbor in population which also has more warm water ports. First in 2014 and again 2022. Their economy has dramatically gone down and their population half the US when the USSR had greater population. Further China and India downright massive, one to its border. It could not join EU and certain not NATO. It could not be part of something bigger so has decided to become bigger.

@PhilJonesIII then they are not poor but rich.

Isn’t 70% a c or d?

To be fair students in US have hours of homework, practice performance/games or part time work as well. In the U.S. though it does not matter how you perform compared to others. You just need to get a fair more right than wrong. We also section off our subjects. Physics is an entire year. Not twice a week with Biology and Chemistry also taken every year. So there are 6-7 solid daily subjects taken at the same time every day. Not 7 period of language, 6 periods of math, 3 of history, 3 of geography, etc… Students can ask questions in U.S. that is preferred as another student might benefit from the question. The competition isn’t there to hope you get more right than your classmate. I think Korean’s have it worse. They go to sleep around 2am.

Actually it’s been the Asian American’s shut out of certain US universities cause of the quotas. Universities have been giving the Asian spots to international students. I have no skin in the game. My son has special needs. But when he was little the other moms were trying to decide if they from the beginning should select other or rather not say when asked for demographic on forms. Just se the kids if they wanted to attend such schools could still be considered. But honestly who wants to go to Ivy League. They are a mess.
