The only thing keeping profit rates up for the past century was insanely high birthrates in places where the most exploited labor is. As the capitalist empire receeds back towards the core we're going to see more of this to try and keep people fighting with their children and grandchildren for jobs.
It's veiled under religion, but they know that more babies means more cheap labor. Without a support system for raising children, or any sort of alternative, women and children will be forced to accept low wages just to survive and this is highly profitable.
Some of the most highly exploited workers in the first world are single mothers. Every shit job I've worked had been absolutely full of single mothers making almost nothing just to get by.
Good thing the people in charge have the biggest issue in mind *checks notes* abortion
Gotta keep birth rates above replacement level and replacement level has increased.
