Illustrate the effectiveness of family welfare programs in controlling population growth, emphasizing the role of education, healthcare, and socio-economic factors.
Himanshu Tiwari - - Himanshu, In my culture a side effect of these proposals would be the immediate reduction in the population with no more than the suggestion that this was how we are going to live. My people will en masse leave. - - You’re suggesting a sensibility that says people and their families are no different than controlling the national production of corn. - In other words men, women and children are a agricultural commodity. — Dictating the procreation of a culture will come with a drastic reduction in the cultural’s creativity, joy and innovation. Along with the spiritual and religious ideals of a culture. - —And will need a corresponding set. of punishments for not following your idea of the ideal culture (that you conveniently leave out). I suggest centuries of historical records show dictating the form of a culture is doomed (long term) because how we live, think, pray and love is not stagnant -but- constantly changing and evolving. During the 20+ years it will take to effect a generational change your ideas will long be out-of-date.
Himanshu Tiwari Himanshu, As a follow-up to my previous comment about programs to control population is a story titled, "China Told Women to Have Babies, but Its Population Shrank Again" in the Jan 16, 2024 New York Times.
Faced with falling births, China’s efforts to stabilize a shrinking population and maintain economic growth are failing. China’s ruling Communist Party is facing a national emergency. To fix it, the party wants more women to have more babies. It has offered them sweeteners, like cheaper housing, tax benefits and cash. It has also invoked patriotism, calling on them to be “good wives and mothers.” — “ The efforts aren’t working. Chinese women have been shunning marriage and babies at such a rapid pace that China’s population in 2023 shrank for the second straight year, accelerating the government’s sense of crisis over the country’s rapidly aging population and its economic future.” see link below;
