    Economies become ever more productive with new technology. Currently that surplus goes to raising standards of living, primarily the standard of living of the wealthy. The surplus productivity of new technology can instead be directed at providing the same standard of living, but at reduced labor participation rates. So maybe we stop making our homes and vehicles ever-larger. Oh well. We’ll survive and thrive just fine. I would much rather have that than any attempts to coerce people into having children.
