Thatโ€™s a straw man, Stan, or should that be straw woman? Iโ€™m certainly not advocating that Europe move to a Swedish welfare state model, even if I donโ€™t think it operates in quite the way, or with quite the effects, that you suggest. What I am saying is that if you think that boosting the birth rate is a necessary policy objective (I donโ€™t), one of the ways to achieve that โ€“ within a European context โ€“ may be to follow the example set by the Swedes.
