Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pronatalism, our values, and our goals.

Q: Are you advocating for coercive or punitive pronatalist policies?

No. We are committed to non-coercive, pluralist approaches. Our focus is on removing barriers for people who already want children, and on making it easier – not harder – to combine family life with other commitments.

Q: Is this about ‘ending’ child-free lifestyles?

No. We recognise that some people will not have children, whether by choice or circumstance. Our concern is that many people who do want children end up with fewer than they hoped for, and that long-term population decline has implications that deserve serious attention.

Q: How is pronatalism different from ordinary ‘pro-family’ policy?

Many pro-family policies start after families exist – supporting parents once children are already here. Pronatalism also asks how we support people earlier in the pipeline: in partner search, relationship formation, housing, mental health, and cultural norms around family size.

Q: Isn’t population decline good for the environment?

Lower environmental impact is important, but it does not require demographic collapse. Our view is that a sustainable, technologically capable society that can reproduce itself is better placed to steward the planet than one that slowly withers.
