[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read that the government believes we need refugees too because our citizens aren't having enough babies. Highly insulting. DH and I wanted a large family but can't afford it on a middle class salary with no maternity leave and expensive daycare. Obviously if the government wanted more children it could do more to help its own citizens. [/quote]

That is more to do with larger statistical trends. The current population is generally more educated and statistically speaking more educated people have less children. Immigrant influxes tend to be less educated and tend to be more religious and tend to have a lot more kids.

But I really agree that we could do a lot to promote citizens wanting to have kids. But that would necessitate people being ok with things like subsidizing paid maternity leave or more tax breaks for childcare costs and a republican congress will never do that because culturally we call things like that 'handouts for lazy people' instead of 'investing in our future'[/quote]

I think schools matching working hours would be a huge improvement. I don't want it to be paid for by the government. Even preschool that started at 3 would be a huge development like most European countries have [/quote]
