Why doesn’t the country support having children?

[NameChangeAsICouldBeOverReacting]

Just seen an article on The Guardian about the 15 free hours for childcare for under 2’s and how the whole system is a mess.

I’m just starting to lose hope that this country doesn’t support working families anymore?

AIBU and need to think more positively, or have we screwed up massively by not supporting families?

The Guardian article which I read.

Because we're not short of people in the UK, the population has been growing at 1-1.5% over the last decade, largely driven by immigration, not birth rate and we don't have the tax income to support the growth.

Fiscally under 18s are a "cost source" for 18 years, if anything for the sake of the environment alone we need to reduce population.

😮we don’t have enough workers!

And k thought population growth was mainly due to older people living longer.

we don’t have enough workers!

I know. You can't get an influencer round her for love nor money.
