Hong Kong’s Chief Executive, John Lee Ka-chiu, has announced a range of new measures to try to counter the city’s declining birth rate. Notably, a HK$20,000 (US$2,556) cash incentive will be given to parents holding permanent residency in Hong Kong for every newborn.
On the one hand I think people should be able to have children if they want to, on the other the world is overpopulated and looks to be reaching a point of collapse where there will be a catastrophic reduction of the population. Overall people choosing to have less children should be welcomed?
Try to keep up a social safety net with pensions and stuff, and a shrinking population.
That’s why I can’t understand why people are against immigration. They are helping our system to still work.
(Well, at least for Austria I can speak)
