Incidentally, IIRC one of China’s policies in Xinjiang was compulsory school for everyone aged 5—15 and 200 Yuan/month for Uyghur children to help their families while in school (and unable to do child labour). Which makes it possible for people to have children. Trust the yanks to twist this one into ‘China is taking (good workers/) children from their families’.
“Free school is one of the things with bigger impact in birth rates” very good connection, I actually didn’t think about that
