India's fertility rate has already fell to about 2.2 children per woman (in 2021). That's already replacement rate. India is one of the few countries with a favorable demographic future right now. The United States and France are also doing ok too (with immigration). But most of Europe and Asia (especially China, Singapore, South Korea and Japan) are facing huge problems: a halving of the population from its peak. An…

SouthIndia has replacement rate below 2. The hindi belt is still trending 2.3+
The above legislation is introduced in a Uttar Pradesh, which is still overpopulated when compared to other states.
The legislation wont work at country level, but i have susupicions if it works at state level.
Awaiting for more details.
I can't read the article, so I'm just replying to the concept. I don't see a problem with this at all. Overpopulation may be the most important issue of our lifetime. I'm not a fan of excessive government control, but incentivizing low birthrates is our only hope of saving the environment.
next step is having more than 2 kids will wreck your credit score and this kid will be denied higher education. this is some text book china shit.

For earth in total, it would be great to see a smaller number of humans.
But we can't have the alternative that's worked everywhere that's tried it: educating Women. If that happened the pervasive corruption might be questioned. Instead we'll just kill the extra children.
1) educating women must take at least ten years to show up in birth rates
2) women with fewer children might have an easier time educating themselves & getting the snowball going

I don't understand why a population decrease should be resulting in "huge problems". I am sure it's possible to maintain or even increase happiness and relative wealth while growing smaller. For earth in total, it would be great to see a smaller number of humans.

These conversations miss the fact that the actual distribution of the people in the country is very relevant. If you have ever been to UP, you would know how it is overflowing with people.
