1. Having children was until very recently (probably still is) the norm
2. Children are net-benefit for society
3. The government should at least partially subsidise
^ These make me feel that we had a population bubble that popped some time ago. Just compare it to housing: Buying it is the norm, it is net benefit for the economy, and yet it still sometimes pops and then no government subsidies help when people are not ready to buy anymore.
Same thing we have with children, albeit much more inertial.
