It's hard for me to take these analyses seriously when the author links to other posts of his like this, https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/win-win-babies-as-infrastru.... This is what I call "technocrat dystopia". Yes, there are really valid economic reasons that we should consider alleviating. But even if you look at some countries, like Finland, that have tons of support for expectant mothers and post-birth childcare, fertility rates have also collapsed. So then the author gets into essentially "securitization" of childcare costs. Thanks, I'll pass.
