Forced childlessness

Politicians complain that the higher earners have fewer children on average than the poorer sections of the population. But politics is the cause of this.

Closing time and forgotten jobs

There are simple professions where it's closing time and you can really forget your job completely. Over, done, closing time! Then you're just a private person and a family man. Members of such professions can afford to have children. This is also reflected in the population statistics. Jobs like this, where you are really free from professional life after work, are the low-skilled jobs with poor pay.

Child or career Professions

Further up, where people no longer call their work a job but a profession, the situation is very different. There is hardly any time to really switch off from working life. Once upon a time, in the good old days, these were jobs where you needed domestic workers to be able to cope with children and work. But the war economy tax legislation has made this unaffordable. As a logical consequence, professions where domestic workers are needed have become professions where you have to choose between child or career. This is what "modern" society wants. "Modern" society? Let's call a spade a spade. The dying society wants it that way.

Decapitating blow

What happens in schools if you halve the proportion of children from high earners? Where does the level of education go? You can read the results of this large-scale field test in the PISA study. Or simply have a chat with a company boss who has just completed 10 job interviews with apprentices.
