    china literally had to end their one child policy because it was causing shitloads of issues and killing the country.

    Do you want japan to make parents kill their daughters? that’s what happens with one child policies.

      China ended their one child policy because it had succeeded. Parents killing their daughters was a cultural issue particularly in rural farming communities who depended on their sons for labour. We can’t uncritically assume that any given implementation of a childbirth disincentivisation policy will lead to infanticide.
