    Hopefully it means change.

    Universal basic income and a 4 day work week would be a good start.

    There is more than enough wealth and automation going around for this to be workable these days.

    There’s more resources to go around, less damage to the planet.

    And billionaires make less money (relatively).

      Yes because China 1 child policy could never have such an effect.
      Russia too has extremely low fertility rate too, (also before the war) Of around 1.4, where the necessary number to sustain the population is 2.1.

      ALL developed countries have this problem.

      So please come again and explain more clearly what it is you actually mean by the above moronic comment.
      Is it that truly communist/socialist countries remain poor with short lifespans, and thereby maintain their fertility rate?

      Edit:
      Downvotes don’t change the truth, I know very well the countries I mention aren’t communist, except one claims to be, but they are different countries than traditional capitalist societies. Make better examples if you can.

      The truth is as I write, nearly if not ALL developed countries have birthrates below 2.1. So again, show me this amazing society that does better, and has a sustainable birth rate.
