Protect job, defuse demographic time bomb – have babies!
Worried about losing your job during the economic crisis?
Then make the most of Germany’s generous parental benefits and job protection for parents on baby leave, and take time off to procreate. That’s at least the message coming from a leading economist in Germany, who is urging the government to do even more for young families, and echoing loudly in the German media.
It may seem counterintuitive — traditionally, birth rates are seen falling during downturns, as people fear for their jobs, worry about a fall in income and seek to reduce costs — but some politicians and researchers say using the recession to have children could be advantageous for all: individuals, companies and the future economy.
Not only does parental leave help avoid being discharged, but you might also be doing your small part to defuse a demographic and economic time bomb, as low birth rates mean average ages are creeping up and putting pressure on the pension, health and welfare system.
This article however opinionated it may be sums up one of the major problems in this world. How is it that America has become a debt filled bunch of embezzling chauvinists? The culture has trained us to take as much as we can and leave none for others. The solution to saving our economy isn’t having less children, its finding what we can provide for them:A. An education (technology is our future)B. Create a new system (ours is out dated hence it is failing)C. Referring to any other human civilization grow adapt and change.The idea that we are now being slipped hints through articles and such that if we have less children we will all be successful. America has reached a point where it can either be remembered or will fade into the pages of a history book, depending on its actions in the next century. In the past in times like these governments would go to war to finance and stimulate the economy, the whole of the people would back the cause and actually want to succeed. That being said, America if it were to go to war and be invaded there would be no spirit, the average human doesn’t honestly care about America that is not what the culture has taught us. Here is an idea…get people to rally around a cause, actually have faith in their government, because people can clearly see corruption. Until the individual person feels like they are making a difference, no progress will be made and we will continue to regress.
