It wouldn't. Not in modern times. They are expected to work, to pay their fair share.
In the absence of hard evidence to the contrary we stand with the last time it was tried, during which it DID work.
Define modern.
Yes, that much is implicit. I'm simply saying that the state use its power to decide what work is permissible.
Marriage is after all essentially contractual prostitution.
Or at least it used to be.
The world has changed a lot. Women are expected to pull their weight.
Even tradcucks no longer advocate for housewives.
Well, China is just going to have to decide on that.
I'm evaluating the solution on it's efficacy of solving the immediate problem.
And I'm not even taking the most direct path. Present Genghis Khan with the problem of the state needing more children and he'd get right on that.
China can decide what they want. Short of gulaging people who don't accept a parasite, what can they do?
