For all those countries with rapidly aging populations, policy-makers are scrambling with new (as well as old) incentives to increase average fertility metrics. What is often missing is simple psychology / behavioural economics fieldwork: observing, measuring, and studying actual behaviours and motivations. And strategies. By real people facing real challenges and tradeoffs.
Good strategists will understand that these strategies are happening everywhere, not just in China. (Kudos to
and his ChinAI newsletter for this fascinating piece*)“In the past, in order to get promotions and raises, we didn't dare to have children, as we were afraid that getting pregnant and having children would affect our career development. Now, in order to keep our jobs, we are considering strategic pregnancies.”**
