In 1967, a sociologist wrote that if the government wanted to control population, they could do so by squeezing consumers through taxation and inflation, by making housing scarce by limiting construction, forcing mothers and wives to work outside the home to offset the inadequacy of male wages and provide few childcare facilities, encouraging migration to cities by paying low wages in the country and providing few rural jobs, increasing city congestion by starving the transit system, and increase personal insecurity by encouraging conditions that produce unemployment.
Eerie.
