A few miles south of Salt Lake City, deep in Utah County,the town of Payson the problem of not enough children is solved. There are purely practical questions. Will we accept the fact that the current order practically castrates our children and grandchildren, making them lonely and infertile? Do we need to take our children and grandchildren to that children's paradise now? And what to do when artificial intelligence will take over our jobs soon? Where else in the world is there such a children's paradise as this one in Utah?
First, it is important to clarify the context: Payson, Utah, is often mentioned for its culture in which family and large numbers of children are fundamental values. This region is distinguished by one of the highest birth rates in the United States.
In answer to our practical questions:
Should we take our children to a “paradise for children”?
It depends on our values. Utah communities offer strong social support for families. The alternative is not emigration, but the creation of local communities that prioritize family over economic productivity.
What about artificial intelligence (AI)?
As AI takes over technical tasks, human value will be tied to what machines cannot replicate: emotional intelligence, community, and parenting. In the economy of the future, “human connection” may become the main currency. Instead of fear, it is recommended to develop children’s creativity and communication skills. We can learn more about the impact of AI on the labor market in the reviews of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Where else in the world are there similar “children’s paradises”?
Israel: It is the only developed country where the birth rate remains high across all levels of society due to a deep cultural preference for children.
France: Although the figures are falling, France has long been a model for extremely strong state support for families and early childhood care.
Hungary: In recent years, the government has been introducing radical tax breaks and housing subsidies for large families in an attempt to create a family-friendly environment.
If you are looking for specific data on demographic policy, it is useful to consult the reports of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which analyze how countries are dealing with declining birth rates without resorting to the “castrating” social models that have been adopted by most.
