Alice Evans

You just pump up the status of marriage and fertility. In Georgia, their Orthodox patriarch similarly did the same of bumping up the status of children and fertility. In Hungary, they tried to give people cheaper mortgages if they promised to be married and have children.

But what I'm saying, the Alice Evans theory of the collapsing fertility, is that these pronatal incentives of saying $2,000, $5,000 to have an extra child... They're simply too small if the prior constraint is that most people are increasingly single. I think that most governments are putting the cart before the horse by focusing on couples rather than realizing this prior constraint.

And I think that if I'm right, that the problem is technology, this hyper engaging media distracting us from us and driving this digital solitude, which ultimately prevents people from forming couples. then we need to think, well, you know, we have various options. Could we regulate technology in some way? Could we introduce further restrictions?

Or what can we do in schools to ensure that we're fostering social skills? Because just as we see declining maths and English reading skills across the OECD, simultaneously, my interviews suggest that if people aren't spending time socialising, then they're not necessarily developing the capacity to bond and charm and woo people

So my message for the world, based on my globally comparative research, is let's focus on the core problem. And that's the rise of singles. Now, how can we address that?

First and foremost, we need to understand and tackle the problem. Let's have a range of pilot initiatives to build community groups, to build local clubs and societies, to support communities so that people can mix and mingle and fall in love. I'm a great advocate for romantic love, for sharing our life stories, for empathizing and understanding with each other.
