The dramatic gain in living standard that has been seen in the western world after second world war, and especially since the seventies, may be short lived because of the reasons that caused it in the first place.  Namely the decrease in birth rate. The simple thought may be that an economic stimulus for child rich families could solve the whole problem. Even though an easy fix is everyones wish in every obstacle in life, the imminent demographic crisis of Europe should be investigated more through-fully to see which measures may proof being the right medicine. As a doctor would state it. "we need to know what's causes the problems to prescribe the right medicine". Some may see it so that an decrease in population would be a welcome blessing for the world, but is it really so?
