  • This perception is largely overblown though, there is some difference but the poor in western civilisation still do not produce enough children on average to get to a sustainable population number.

    What might be a part of it is that globally the poorest region there is a lot of internal solidarity and community building.

    Helping each other out becomes second nature if it means that the neighbourhood will have your back during worst times. Forming the village to raise a child.
    Add other factors like normalised child labor and indeed no access to contraception or general healthcare (including normalised child death, my European great grand parents have also mentioned the concept of basically “backup” children and normalised loss of siblings)

    Some people migrating from such cultures may take some of it with them. People who raised around big families may want to replicate their image of a family but this seems to rapidly decline with each following generation.

    The west has a long history of living from exploitation. we build a culture around “civilized /s” families having wealth and became financially competitive. When things go bad there is rarely ever someone to help because either “i don’t have this problem so it must be your own fault” or “no one helped me when i was in that position”

    I don’t remember my latest source on this and i spend to long typing this to go look but the statistics i saw that showed that immigration is not the answer to declining population because they don’t produce enough kids either for sustainability was recent data from this year.






  • I am not opposing but there is a big risk here.

    Essentially there are 2 customers,

    The company wants a worker, but the worker a company.

    In a current hiring process if your not a fit for the company well thats end of story… but not with a centralised third system who is hiring for many different companies where they can hire you for another company instead were you are a better fit.

    Sounds good on paper for now but.

    The government needs you to work to pay taxes. The job of the government worker is to make sure the open positions are filled. Neither requires you or the employer to be long term happy with the deal.

    Over time they will drown in crap positions that are technically legit employment but that no one actually wants and the government will get pressured to fill those positions.

    So when you walk in, and you don’t instantaneously manage to sell yourself as one of the prime few worthy of the actual decent jobs everyone wants, they will try to push you in all the shitty ones till you stop coming back.

    Then there is also you can’t really ban someone from employing someone directly.
