Apparently, the best way for people to have more kids is for governments to jack up social spending and respect family choices

An article about population decline on a website literally called "Stop Population Decline" doesn't give me the impression it'll be fully balanced and unbiased.

Why does it make it dubious that the subject of a website is in its name? What if a website called "Stop Food Waste" takes about food waste?

I read the article and I encourage you to do the same if you did not already.

TLDR: addressing the gender wage gap, stronger public services and better parental leave for mothers and fathers seems to boost fertility rates. The prose is a little strange as if written by someone whose english is not their first language, but who am I to judge lol

Um, because they already have a clear agenda? They could be likely to be selective with their sources, not report on things that go against their view, etc.

I read the article, thank you.

I've seen the site attack the Tories and Austerity so it couldn't be that bad. As long it's keeping to promoting social spending, and nothing else, it's fine
