Question: Why doesn't anybody encourage people to only have 2 children per family like China!.!?
I'm not talking about enforcing limits or anything!.!.!.

but anyone else agree with encouraging people to only having 2 kids!. The world is too overpopulated!.

If there were 1/4 less of the population, things would be so much easier!. would they not!?

I mean, look at it this way!. If there were double the population right now,,, the world would pretty much starve and be completely uncomfortable until they died!.

However if there were only 1/2 the population instantly!.!.!. you'd see more Jobs and more food and more money!.!.!.

China's got the right idea!.!.!. somewhat!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

India too following this principle for decades and advising people through advertisements such as "WE TWO, FOR US TWO" "AFTER ONE NOT NOW; AFTER TWO NEVER"!. also instructing maternity doctors to request people if they are willing to have birth-control operation after two!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

If the couple can afford to raise more than 2 children and what more I see no reason why they shouldn't!.

If a single mother on welfare has more than 1 child I think she should be penalized for each additional child!. I know that may sound cruel, but I bet there would be a lot of single mothers who would think twice about having another child if the government was not going to give her more money for having another child!.

Now, having said that, I do understand that as a society we have to think of the children who are born to this woman!. They would be the ones to suffer and I'm sure there will be a lot of liberals out there that will be very angry with this thinking!. Though, maybe not, they believe in abortion!. Oh, but only if the mother wants it!. Not for the good of Society!.

I understand that this will not happen in America, at least not in my lifetime!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I agree with you!. There should probably be a system in the future which encourages people to have about 2 children, until the population gets significantly smaller at least!.
The reason why such a system hasn't been introduced yet is probably because it is thought that the earth will be able to maintain our population for a while longer, which I think is true!.
But if the population does keep on growing at this rate, then the earth will not be able to sustain it!.
I don't think its a matter of having the liberty to have many children or not, since only encouraging people to have fewer children is not the same as forcing them to!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is my understanding China does what we do except it is forced: abortion!. I think what you are talking about could have unintended
consequences!. Remember the hoopla about converting corn to oil!? Farmers all jumped on the band wagon and started growing corn!. Because corn was diverted from food People all over the world were in danger of starving!. Prices went up!. People were fighting over food and others were hoarding food!. Would there necessarily be more jobs!? Less people would be less need for goods, services, etc!. In Russia they are giving prizes of various kinds for women to have children!. And what oh what would the Democrats do!? Not enough wage earners to tax!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

a) Freedom of choice
b) Aging population - the world actually needs more youngsters to look after the oldies!
c) Who knows what kind of geniuses the world might miss out on by limiting families to two kids!?
d) What would happen if a mother did happen to fall pregnant with a third!? Or a family wasn't satisfied with the gender combination they got!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Question first!.!.!.explanations later!
China encourages 2 children per family!? You must come from that 4 wife theologians!. One child from one wife = 2, 3 or 4!. How to subvert the law[or what law!?]!.
1/2 the population with 2 kids per 'normal' family!?
Oh! Forget it!
You get my 'message'!? Lol!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because the world is not overpopulated!. Some areas of the world are overpopulated but large areas of Europe have declining populations!. Many of these nations don't have enough births to keep the population stable!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

considering the cost of living, it is very diffcult to pull on large family!. so it is better to have two children then 4 or 6!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

THE IDEA WILL NOT WORK FOR US AND CANADA !.!.BECAUSE PARENTS WHO GO IN FOR THIRD CHILD ARE ACTUALLY COMPENSATING !.!.!.!.!.!.FOR THOUSANDS OF COUPLES, WHO DON'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE CHILD, EITHER BY CHOICE OR DUE TO SOCIAL LIMITATIONS!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We don't live in a communist country!. Besides, they only want male children to serve in their army!. Now that's scary!. I wonder what they're up to!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
