It irrelevant - babies are not needed for population growth - there's plenty of countries that are overpopulated all that is required is redistribution of the people we have rather than making more. If we look at these issues globally rather than on a per country basis it looks easier to resolve/different.

> babies are not needed for population growth

Of course they are, on a global scale. There is no other process than birth that can increase global population.

That's being pedantic - of course I mean babies from other countries as well as adults - when birth rates drop in a country its easy to grow population with entire families including babies from countries that are overpopulated - this is a win for everyone including the environment.

This is a loss for everyone expecting to become anything but soyoent in their reteriment.

An inverted population either kills the old or enslaves the young.

We reached peak baby 5 years ago. There is a still a path to steady state population but that is closing fast.

Governments need population growth to maintain economic growth - steady state population is very much against economic growth - the population must grow for the good of the economy and therefore the country.

Why must the economy grow? What’s wrong with a steady state economy?

Everyone that belongs to 0.1% of richest people in the society. All others get to win increased crime rates, salary stagnation and other benefits.

Your idea is dumb. The world fertility rate is barely above replacement and dropping (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN). Do the math, it doesn't work.
