They're not wrong on the problem side but I think we depart on the solutions side. I'd be aiming for Swedish maternity/paternity leave models, and Dutch "five kids is a kindy up the street" levels of fully funded childcare, and an NHS, not to mention free tertiary study.

They're a free market think tank. I think they're more attracted to the Israel religious sentiment solution: women as home makers. Single income? Kids not happening for a lot of people.

We tried the "lots of people on the planet" approach and it... hasn't gone well

Are we about to find out what the "fewer people at once" on the planet approach is like?
