@clacke
Fertility can go down with ethical access to family planning.

Instead many govt actively pursued #populationGrowth. In #Australia the conservative right party brought in a #BabyBonus *in this century* as well as increased immigration by insane levels, extra hundreds of thousands a year, simply to satisfy #contructionCartels, retailers like #GerryHarvey (very short term strategy given the effect on #CurrentAccount), suppress wages, and boost housePrices.

The only…1/2
