原文：

This isn’t a call to immediately remake our societies and economies in the service of birthrates. It’s a call to start conversations now, so that our response to low birthrates is a decision that is made with the best ideas from all of us. Kicking the can down the road will make choices more difficult for future generations. The economics and politics of a society in which the old outnumber the young will make it even harder to choose policies that support children.

译文：

这并非是为了出生率而呼吁立即重造我们的社会和经济，而是呼吁现在就开始进行对话，这样我们应对低出生率的决定才能建立在集思广益的基础之上。一拖再拖只会让子孙后代的选择更加困难。在一个老年人的数量超过年轻人的社会，经济和政治将使我们更加难以选择对儿童有利的政策。
