Any Danish care to comment?
Ugh yes, and someone just posted an ad for a travel agency to HN. I hope they're proud or at least in some sort of referral program. ;)

#15Nobody has solved the "problem" of a falling birthrate in a culture where there's easy access to birth control and general overall prosperity in an economic system where children are financial drains rather than financial assets, and they will continue to not solve it because it's not actually a problem?

Declining birth rate is not actually a problem? OK then. Also, referring to children as "financial drains" makes them look much worse than they really are. I wonder if you've ever had children..

#18I have a fantasy that birthrates continue to fall in the developed world, while urbanization continues to rise. Then we can demolish the empty suburbs and turn them into national parks.
A guy can dream, can't he?

Yes, and we've stopped at one because children are a financial drain.
As an example: if we both continue to work, weekday childcare will consume 70% of my wife's income.
Add to that all the other costs of raising children, and the potential income lost through not being able to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise, and I understand the Danish situation.

This slightly reminds me of the movie named idiocracy.
