so you are against reducing work hours? humans are not made to work so hard, but you can work more if you want to while also supporting other people to have that choice.
because you are talking about doctors, who are notoriously well paid and privileged. as i said, its rare to even be able to save, even when working 12hr days, 6 day weeks. theres a reason not many people want children nowadays, and most that do are in financial distress.
the good news is that we DO have many meaningful movements to do all of that on the left, but like any grassroots movement, it isn’t financed by big capital and needs people’s support and participation.
i think you should expand your perspective somewhat. life aint easy for people without the same privilege as you do, and even then.
you… vote against pensions…? don’t feel sorry for children then. honestly if you have that attitude and are in belgium you are the problem. i’m guessing the political parties that want to “cut costs” in belgium of all places are very fascist-adjacent.
all i can really say is stop exploiting the third world for your privilege, because we will soon shake the imperial influence off and its not gonna look pretty for your economy.

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.
