    Belgium’s population grew from 9 to 11 million in 65 years. My wife’s country Indonesia grew from 80 to 280 million people in 65 years.

    Median net wealth of Belgian is 250k euros and in Indonesia it’s 5k euros.

    Your perspective is the one that needs to be expanded.

    Belgians don’t want kids because they don’t believe in a god. They have pensions even though they don’t have kids.

    In Indonesia they are extremely religious, so they think having kids is important. They don’t have meaningful pensions, so they need kids to survive.

    You’re quite mistaken.

    We don’t have kids because we are financially rewarded to not have kids. I vote against pensions for this reason.
