Finland experiment: Basic income for the unemployed.

[barbara]

After reading this thread, particularly the part about reproduction, I thought I'd offer a few random thoughts from a female point of view.

Someone noted earlier that women are waiting until they are older to have children. I think that was true years ago when there were no laws to protect a woman's job during pregnancy. I don't think it is so true anymore.

There was discussion regarding incentives for not getting pregnant (to keep population down) as opposed to penalties. I don't think incentives or penalties will have much impact in the majority of the population. Just my opinion....
