More People, Not Fewer From Abortions, Would Ease The Economic Crisis
by Colin Mason and Steven Mosher
Clearly population growth in both the you.S. and New Zealand would stimulate the economy, and encourage the recovery of the housing market. In both cases, however, it seems more reasonable to encourage greater fecundity among the existing population, rather than recklessly increase immigration during a financial crisis. The problem is that childbearing has long since gone out of style with today's intelligentsia, and even the most level-headed of economists are often loath to discuss it. The result is a strange double-standard, where it is acceptable to discuss immigration as a response to the economic crisis, but not the encouragement of childbearing.
