Demographic health is something that needs a long term investment, certainly much longer than capitalism can tolerate. 18 to 25 years?
It's to the point now that without immigration, countries are committing demographic suicide even in western "happy" counties, unlike "sad" totalitarian countries where urbanization is combined with reproductive rebellion.
