Notes -
I just saw a tweet and I don’t care if it’s factually true because a it’s definitely directionally true but it seems like Humans overall just hit below replacement fertility. That would seem existential at some point. Shouldn’t we be considering radical policy choices. One big issue is men dropping out of the labor force. One radical thing we could do would be positive male discrimination. Make firms hirer men whenever possible. There are probably a lot more radical policies but more stable male careers would definitely seem to help. Not saying we should do that specifically but it probably should be inside the Overton window.
When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
You don't need to make firms hire men whenever possible. You just need to stop punishing firms for not hiring women and let the market solve things. Or do you think companies want to hire people who are prone to maternity leave and sexual harassment lawsuits?
