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)
A US$2200 bonus at each birth.
Has this idiot not looked at how much it costs to raise a child in China? ANY part of China, not to mention Hong Kong, arguably the single most expensive city?!
US$2200 won’t even pay for the Kindergarten the children will have to go to because it takes two people working full-time to live in a cramped, squalid apartment!
Here’s a thought: address the actual problem and do surgery. Band-aids don’t help.
Immigration makes sense from a financial and environmental perspective. However it may be less acceptable from a political and reproductive rights perspective.
Hong Kong is pretty open to immigration already, especially from the mainland. The problem is their traditional sources of immigrants are drying up and expats that bring in business are avoiding Hong Kong
