I wish the interviewer of Jordan Peterson had really pinned him down and not let him get away by making everything in Scripture a symbol. The question he should have asked him, “Was there a real man named Jesus who was crucified by the Romans and then rose from the dead? Did that happen in reality?”
Living on the same block as extended family has done wonders for our ability to parent and have more children. Thick community is, as the Northern Italy example shows, one of the most pro-natal ways to live.
Probably the small regions where birthrates are high are areas where the culture has been shifted to pro-natalism. A multidecade commitment to promote births by local government would of necessity coincide with influential people and institutions in the area taking a positive view of babies. I think this means more than the money.
Living super close to extended family could produce a micro-climate of pro-natalism, since people are naturally inclined to like their own grandchildren, nieces/ nephews.
Does this count as a media mention? https://notthebee.com/article/new-poll-reveals-that-young-women-are-abandoning-the-church-in-unprecedented-numbers

Good comment.

this is probably the most natural way to live. It's so simple: adults are related to and invested in the younger generation, but very hard to achieve.
