One child families

I recently seen an article about how our country is becoming over populated and the NHS and schools etc can't cope. They said that a law like China's got, that families should only have one child should be forced to combat the problem. What do you think.

it was never banned, you could pay extra taxes to have more than one child. many who couldn't afford that were forced into abortions.

and herein lies the problem.

China ended it's one child policy in 2015 because there were too many old people with a diminishing workforce able to pay for their care....society has become too top-heavy.

I don't know what the answer to overpopulation is, but it's on its way to being a serious global crisis.

Id say no more than 3 really or if it helps that if you have over so many kids then you only get state help and housing for the first however many say 3 again and it may stop these 15kid families where the parents never work

One+two child system in China has been abandoned.

Fruitless endevour only depletes future work force. Like Germany with planned parenting forced them to practically beg Turks to come in the 70s and 80s to fill their factories

Would you kill off your kids just because they aren't being subsidized by the government?

I personally don't think child benefits should exist at all. I bet people would still have kids.

only the rich, in a system that exploits the working classes and poor, should be allowed to have kids.

that way you lose all your traumatised, downtrodden, used, abused, and financially struggling. good idea actually. and the rich have to do the shitty jobs for themselves.

the middle class becomes the poor and we start all over again.

and eventually there will be loads of rich toilet cleaners, rich takeaway workers, rich carers, rich everyone coz the entitled always demand that.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I found out recently there is a one child cap in Cambodia, unless your first child isn't a boy. Which might lead to an interesting imbalance a few years down the line. However Cambodia certainly isn't overpopulated, after Pol Pot killed off half of them not long ago.

I stopped at one for personal reasons. Neither I nor she regretted that.

we should just go back to a more simple time, when it really was survival of the fittest and let the weak die off. no more NHS, money gives you an advantage so we get rid of that, and let the truly superior exist. everyone else can die.

seems like a better way to improve the population.

also, less reliance on a robot workforce as that is 'cheating'.

why should genitically inferior people be allowed to have as many kids as someone more superior? we could all die off from that.

Ok, I'll be more specific and less flippant.

I think bank bonuses should exist, but within reason. I think child benefits should be based on family income, not on how many kids you have.

It's about proportionality. For both cases.

Probably would have been better if they'd carried on with the policy, worked through the short term top heavy population problem and ended up with a more manageable population size 40 or 50 years down the line.

There's a thread in the political forum asking what we're going to do 50 years from now when automation has replaced vast numbers of jobs and there's no work for potentially billions of people. We'd need to stop breeding or totally rethink our whole economic system.

Young girls with poor education and minimum wage earners have children so they can get social housing as there is no way they would get one without children.

They would be destined to live in HMO's (bedsit land) like single guys have to do who are on low incomes.

Having children is seen as the only option to get their own place and increased benefits by alot of young girls/couples.

The reason it made a difference in China was boys grow up to look after their parents and girls grow up to help look after their husband's parents, hence baby girls were killed off by parents who didn't want to be left destitute in their old age.

funny how none of my opinions are popular. at one time they were very much in use and probably worked better than anything else suggested.

and then some decided to steal from those who were quite capable of surviving by working for themselves and their community, because they had the power to do so...to steal from peaceful people who worked hard and never caused anyone else any problems.

this system was hierarchy and now we are trying to justify taking away the rights the poor for being the most peaceful of all in this violent hierarchy system.

its why they are at the bottom, because they do not have a sociopathic desire to steal from anyone else. they do not even know they have rights any more as they were stolen from them for so long.

and if they try to fight back with violence, because that is how they were stolen from, they are in the wrong.

and i am so fucking bored...

but if we're gonna justify who should have kids and how many then maybe start looking to something more natural and less artificial. maybe look towards the people who have good qualities in bringing up genuine decent people. money means nothing.

Which is why I don't understand the Cambodian restrictions, as the girl stays with her parents, the boy goes to his wife's parents. So if a family has 3 girls before they have their first son they end up with 6 additional mouths to feed.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Pensions cost 42% of the welfare bill. Child/family benefits cost 17%.

The older people who have never worked still get their benefits. Children haven't had a chance to work for theirs yet but are going to be the people paying for those pensions.

Capping the number of children elsewhere has led to gender imbalance and aging populations that lead to failing economies.

There are many of us who can't or don't have children, or have lost the child they did have. Even when you aim for just two you might have twins, triplets or other multiples so one of those counts towards my 'entitlement' to one.

It's not as easy as that.

Teenage pregnancy rates are down to 23 per 1,000 conceptions last year compared to 55 per 1,000 in 1971. One of the reasons attributed for this social media shaming teenagers for getting pregnant.

Not really. They need fewer labourers and more professionals, as those were the ones killed by Khmer Rouge.

However there is a large move towards young couples getting their own places. They are definitely trying to move away from being a farming culture.

Yes of course peoples situations change but there are a few people who just dont think it through properly."

Totally agree but I don't think this subject should be so black and white

I don't agree with people who sit on benefits as a life style choice

But for some going on benefits isn't an option, if you have had a good job for 25 years and end up losing that job through no fault of your own I don't believe they should cap your benefits depending on how many kids you have, you have paid into the system for 25 years so why should you not get help for all your children under 18 while you look for another job?

I don't think it should be a cap that applies to everybody's regardless of you circumstances

A world of my own

As a single mum of 3 I'm stereotypically crippling the state in one way or another.

I work two jobs,I work bloody hard to salvage a career and an identity. However I feel no guilt in claiming help with my rent or childcare. (Which are both means tested) However if I gave up work the state would actually support me less.. go figure that one!

I didn't have my children expecting to be in the situation I'm in. I certainly didn't have them to get a house! However because I had my first child at 16 that will always be the assumption people make.

So many people casting judgments and making suggestions without any idea of how it would effect people in those situations.

Having also worked in financial services for many years I'd agree some of the bonuses are ridiculous.

I don't know what the solutions are, however hitting out at the poorest in society is never the answer

See, I agree with you in principle. But surely there are better, smarter ways of helping people in these (and similar) situations than the current child benefits system?

I think there needs to be a rethink about how society gives assistance to those in need. There are better, and fairer, ways.

I once read a fantastic short story where once the women where pregnant they had 9 months to choose who in their family would be sacrificed to make way for the new baby. If by the time the baby was born the mother had failed to nominate someone the baby would be sacrificed. I don't know who wrote it but it was bloody good n very thought provoking.

Ok to put a spanner in the works!.

A couple woman well documented in the media have numerous children. One refuses to work and gets a darn site more infact double what I earn in a month she goes on holidays abroad has designer clothes etc and openly admits to having more children to claim more in benefits. The other woman worked as a mechanic gave it up because part time she could t cope with the hours and looking after her 8 kids as it reduces her benefit. Both get houses paid for and get family tax etc It's well documented in the papers and on news they have also been on tv shows to discuss.

I work and due to fertility issues can't have kids yet I pay tax which goes to support women like those two. Why is that fair? Why should I pay £400 a month in tax? Why did I have to pay for fertility treatment because through no fault of my own I can't lay on my back think of England and get pregnant.

So yes benefits for people like them should be capped. They need to remember a child is a blessing not a god given right to free handouts that others can't have.

Then it's just possible that people wont want to have multiple children to receive benefits.

China ended this policy,but not for the public reasons you have stated although it is linked to the care of older people . Chinese people really care for their elderly,but after the one child rule (depending where they live,sex of the child,and financial situation)there was a massive shortage of females for a whole generation,and as we all know,females give birth,less females,less births,less workers,the boys take care of the parents,then nothing.

you can get your own place without having kids.

things that are needs should not be making profits. and i live in housing that does not make profits so it is possible.

it's classed as a charity though, which i think giving people their basic needs should not be charitible, it is a right from being born, and even more so if you're born into s system that does not pay fair wages to all.

because it's actually nice to have children and a big family. the more you have the cheaper it gets to have them as you can pass stuff down to other kids. you're heating a house for 6 people takes the same amount as it would for one person.

also, poverty brings you more spare time and gives you less of a sense of worth, having more children gives you a purpose and takes up that spare time.

i never wanted any kids, i had 4. now they don't need me i'm on some shitty fuck site bored outta my tits.

Both can go, in my opinion.

Why though? What do you benefit if either go?

Ok, I'll be more specific and less flippant.

I think bank bonuses should exist, but within reason. I think child benefits should be based on family income, not on how many kids you have.

It's about proportionality. For both cases."

Also i think the op wasnt actually about families claiming benefits and more that our countries resources cannot cope with growing population...

"People want child benefits stopped but dont bat an eyelid to bankers bonuses"

Why would they?

Private companies can pay thier employees wages however they choose.

Should factories stop thier bonus schemes too.

Or thier special stock offerings for workers

Both can go, in my opinion.

If you can't afford the kids don't have them, simple!!!

Maybe they could afford them when they had them, some peoples situations change

Yes of course peoples situations change but there are a few people who just dont think it through properly.

Totally agree but I don't think this subject should be so black and white

I don't agree with people who sit on benefits as a life style choice

I don't think it should be a cap that applies to everybody's regardless of you circumstances "

I dont think anyone would dispute the provision of temporary assistance ... and that kind of thing wouldnt be capped ... what is being capped it the "automatic money per child" system that exists at the moment

Someone further up said they raised a child for 18 years why shouldnt they get some money back for it ... i know it might not be much but a tually why should you? Why is having a child seen as a service to the country the government should contribute to?

"Young girls with poor education and minimum wage earners have children so they can get social housing as there is no way they would get one without children.

They would be destined to live in HMO's (bedsit land) like single guys have to do who are on low incomes.

Having children is seen as the only option to get their own place and increased benefits by alot of young girls/couples."

That wasn't the case for me then.

I was a young mum had my son at 17 stayed why my mum and dad till my son was a year and a half as there was no house for me, plus I still worked and that was 18 Year ago.

So your theory doesn't apply to every young girl.

Or every council, believe me under my council you do not get a house just because you have a child

They are only obligated to make sure you have a roof over you head and round here most pregnant young girls either stay at home or end up in a hostel

Funny as isn't it. The people who rule our country are to blame for the state of it but no, let's blame people for having too many kids...

Earlier on it was another thread about housing.

Pisses me off! So many opinionated people on here.

Personally though, I don't understand why an already struggling family have more children. It just doesn't appear logical to me. That's not being judgemental, it's being sensible.

also, poverty brings you more spare time and gives you less of a sense of worth, having more children gives you a purpose and takes up that spare time.

i never wanted any kids, i had 4. now they don't need me i'm on some shitty fuck site bored outta my tits.

i'd love to have more kids and more family coz i don't like many people outside of my family. i think most people are fucked up, myself included, but only the people who get me are ok to bother with.

To me, that's not sensible though, it's selfish. Having children because you want a big family when you can't afford it just doesn't make sense. I want things because they're nice, but I can't afford them, therefore I don't buy them.

i was only poor because i'm not selfish though. i didn't have nice things but i have a nice family. i went without for them and was happy to do so.

my kids are great, they aren't street rats and i invested quite a lot into them. and time was what i had to invest in them because i was poor.

why can't i be selfish also? why can onl ypeople who don't want the poor to have kids be selfish?

Because you are not being selfish with your own resources ... you are being selfish with someone elses

You say you wish you could have more kids because you are bored now they have grown? Then go use that time ... work, volunteer, find a hobby ... you dont just reproduce for something to pass the time

I would have liked more children but I didn't because I couldn't afford too, it was as simple as that.

I have lots of friends that have this thought process too. I'd love children, but I can't afford them. Even when I was with my last long-term partner, we worked out that we'd need to have more savings before trying.
