Interesting. I will take a closer look at Norway. As I pointed out Denmark has done much better with birth rates with an extremely liberal attitude to IVF - which I would have thought Norway would be closer to. One thing about Denmark is they had a big collapse in births in 1980s, so maybe they have had a longer time to adjust public policy
The implication is that population forecasts are completely wrong. In financial terms growth and inflation will be higher - so interest rates should.be higher. Also it implies developed world population growth should be stronger.
Yes childcare is a problem. But I cant help thinking work from home has made this solvable. If two parents can work from home two days a week - you only need childcare 1 day....
There are some listed ivf clinic in Australia

Don't know if you've seen this Russell but it plays into your labor over captial thesis

Yes - this is very much inline with FDR style policies. I think the government authority involved may well have been created by FDR

Why the obsession with this topic??

Russell how does this tie into the cost of child-raising
Childcare costs in developed countries have gone into the roof
Without action on that front I don't see cheaper IVF as the solution.

Hmmm a Fertility business might be interesting to explore as an investment expression of this research.
Hey Russel, have you thought about any of the vaccines apparent impact on fertility rates, and increased non Covid death rates ?
Had not heard that vaccines affect fertility. Will take a look
Very interesting thoughts
