You believe in promoting higher birth rates to ensure societal growth and continuity.
Natalism, also known as pronatalism, is a political ideology that promotes human reproduction and encourages the bearing of children. It is often associated with policies that create incentives for families to have more children, such as tax breaks, subsidies, or improved access to childcare. The goal of natalism is to increase birth rates and population growth, often in response to concerns about aging populations, declining birth rates, or potential labor shortages.
The origins of natalism can be traced back to various periods in history and across different cultures. In ancient Rom…

How could living in a larger family impact your individual pursuit of happiness and personal growth?
@9KCPVRYPeace and Freedom3mos3MO
You may not get as much attention that you need, that can lead you to development issues.
@9KH5FP73mos3MO
Many times in larger families you don't get as much 1 on 1 attention, but that fosters independence and creativity. When you take risks and fail, you grow as a person. That growth can then lead happiness.
@9KGRRG43mos3MO
The parents could be focusing on one kid while the rest don't get as much attention causing them to do bad things.
@9KCPSK43mos3MO
I dont really think the size of your family has an impact direclty on your happiness, there is so many different factors that relate to this topic. Just because you come from a bigger family doesnt directly mean that you would have a struggling house-hold.
@9KHR2R83mos3MO
Large families can have many affects on your life. Your siblings can be a great safety net to catch and help you if you fall on hard times. Or they can make your life much harder than necessary and sibling can fight for the attention of their parents.
@9KCQ67G3mos3MO
it would imacpt on lifestyle changes since larger families tends to be more close knit inherently and the american dream is often promoting indavisualism and personal growth it would likely lead to an more community based social world with good creativity but simply not enough means to achieve the ideas sprouted from that creativity since the birthrates would skyrocket andprices and resources (prices as of now) just arent going to support that
@9KCPJ6V3mos3MO
I think it'll make me happier with myself, and give me more perspectives and people to guide me who have proof that they've succeeded in those same steps.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
When thinking about your future, how does the prospect of sharing resources with an increasing population affect you?
@9KM6FW22mos2MO
negatively. I believe that church and government need to be separated. I see our population as a problem that is getting out of control and need to start mandating sexual education in the school system.
@9KNBZY42mos2MO
We have already had sexual education in schools and the population was still steadily increasing. The only help for this is to stop subsidizing single motherhood and provide more affordable contraceptives.
@9KM5VW52mos2MO
I think it will definitely affect how much food we have, but not much.
@9KM5Y7N2mos2MO
I think that people shouldn't be able to limit one's resources, and I believe people shouldn't be hoarders.
@9KM5LCNPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
They don’t affect me, sharing resources is a good thing to do.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you feel if someone you love chose to have many children, possibly impacting their time with you?
@9JT5BB33mos3MO
I wouldn't care or be mad at them for wanting to have a big family.
@9JY6MFK3mos3MO
i just feel like you cant really be mad about how someone feels about themselves and their families.
@9JTWZNT 3mos3MO
If somebody chooses to have a large family, that is a beautiful and wonderful thing, to dedicate one's life to raising a family. While it may impact the parents' social life and those of their friends and relatives, you cannot fault someone for wanting to have a family, and a large one at that.
@9JT65S33mos3MO
I'm most likely to oppose the ideal of natalism. However, I do agree that families are vital for child development when a child is at process of learning realities and facts, soon or later, once they finally grow up and mature enough, including open-minded children. But also, it varies on family situations that women are most likely a predominant victims of abuse, rape, and forced labor. It also includes that wives are not willing to receive children due to husbands' actions, financial situations, or being subjected to forced marriage. Marriage is most likely a privilege for American couples, it's the government's duties to enchance background checks on couples about discovering their criminal records such illicit activities or committing frauds in systems.
@9JTDDS83mos3MO
Having children only increases the time that I would get to spend with you, because of the time that we would spend together to raise these kids, it would only bring us closer.
@9JT4VN33mos3MO
i would support their decision of having that many children
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How has the thought of raising children in your future influenced your career or educational choices?
@9KZ73P6Independent2mos2MO
It has greatly influenced me as finding a financially stable job and market is crucial to provide the best life for my kids. The choice of private or public schools is also important as i want enough money to put my kids in private schools to encourage academic success from a young age.
@9KZ6MSQ2mos2MO
It hasn't influenced my career too much. I'd prefer to work at home when I get children as a computer developer.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would the possibility of having a large family influence the dreams you have for your own future?
@9KCPS7W 3mos3MO
Having a large family would crush my dreams. I dislike children, and never want the responsibility of caring for one. Pronatalist idealogies also would lead to direct discrimination against me and other women with PCOS, as it is harder for them to conceive.
@9KCPSCPRepublican3mos3MO
A large family would possibly slow down my end goal in life depending on when the 'family' starts and my idea is to get to that goal or somewhere that is relatively within grabbing distance before I start a family.
@9KCPGKL3mos3MO
I do feel drawn to have a decent sized family because with all the current individuals choosing against having children, the population will eventually decline.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do your cultural traditions influence your thoughts on ideal family size?
@9HL7HFQ5mos5MO
It is the choice of who is bearing a child. They decide what they would like to do with THEIR body, THEIR future, and THEIR life.
@9HL7KJJ5mos5MO
your choice no one should be able to decide for you
@9HL7C5Z5mos5MO
It pushed the idea of having a small family is more common in society.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
If you were responsible for the well-being of a nation, would you consider natalist policies?
@9H7FJFMIndependent6mos6MO
I see no harm in trying to promote population growth in of itself, it just depends what the policies are specifically. I think that allowing more immigrants, providing increased paternity and maternity leave, healthcare coverage, temporary housing, and other such reforms would be best, as simply running ads to encourage people to have more children is pointless.
@9H7FDV66mos6MO
no; partners should be the ones to decide how many children to have (or none); government should have no say in this
@9H7FGHM6mos6MO
No, I would promote childbirth but also educate women on the effects it has on life.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you manage the tension between personal freedom and societal expectations regarding family size?
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How would you navigate your aspirations in a place that prizes parenting above other life achievements?
@YumiLibertarian 5mos5MO
Our priority in life isn’t just reproducing anymore. We have greater and complex things to focus on. Sure, giving life to a person is someones own choice, but it should not be incentivized anymore unless the birth rate is dropping. Humans, both men and women, have gotten far more intelligent. We need to focus on ocean exploration, space exploration, science, math, medicine, anything that helps improve the environment and for people to live in.
@9HL7LSP5mos5MO
LOL! If only the united states was a natalist country. There are no financial incentives besides a tax deduction, there is not support for child bearers which make up 1/3 of the workforce. Talk to me when there are actual measures in place to support the human reproduction instead of punishing women.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What personal values would you weigh when deciding to start or expand your family amid population policies?
@jakeeubanks 5mos5MO
I feel as though starting a family is up to the people who are doing it. Nothing should be incentivized to make it so that people feel like they need to have children, though.
@9HMM7V75mos5MO
people should have children and love them........ duh
