Magically make it economically sensible to do so. Forcing orgs to hire those demographically disadvantaged (due to their age) workers would have all sorts of negative effects that I don't think are worth it.

It is not realistic to expect the demographically disadvantaged candidates to command comparable salaries to more demographically advantaged candidates, but that wouldn't fly and would throw up all sorts of social outrage.

I'm not sure how to solve the problem, but I don't think your proposed solution is very pragmatic.

If I was to give contrarian two cents, normalising stay at home moms would fix the problem, but it may also be politically untenable. I suspect that some women don't think it is acceptable not to work, and that creates issues especially in places like SF where it seems working...

Um... what happens to the SAH moms after their children are grown, if an education/career is foolish? 40 years of knitting clubs, I guess?

You're projecting? I don't think an education/career is foolish. I think normalising SAH moms is the best way to increase the birth rate (if you think it's something that needs to be fixed) all things considered. Personally, I have no intention of having children...

So the birth rate is not something that I think is necessarily bad. I think promoting immigration is one way to maintain a demographically vibrant population (especially skilled labor from countries with a demographic overhang).

However, I'm aware that some people want more young people that belong to their ethnicity/culture and not necessary more young people period — and there are legitimate reasons for desiring this that don't reduce to racism — so immigration may not have been as desirable solution.

If you think the birth rate needs to be fixed, then it's likely you don't think immigration is the solution, and given the knowledge available to me, normalising SAH moms seems to be the best way to fix the problem (besides, I'd expect 40 years of being active internet citizens).

There's a lot I don't know, and I'm willing to listen to better solutions (I realise that I'm not actually American so this may not be of much concern to me, but I do intend to migrate there later on).

The point is that Sarah is *also* advocating nornalizing SAH moms. But she’s acknowledging that life goes on after the kids grow up.
