The book of the couple Myrdal deals with the consequences of a continued low nativity in Sweden. Myrdal Myrdal believes that Sweden is threatened with a population decline, thereby reducing productivity and standards. They advocate a series of social reforms to overcome this problem.
A major chapter is devoted to malthusianism and nymalthusianism that they attack and criticize. They say that there is no need for a smaller population increase, but on the other hand an increase in nativity, and points out that if fertility further decreases, "by the end of the 1970s, we would have nearly twice as many ages relative to individuals in working ages as now (1934) ". This would lead to serious supply problems. In this context, the spouses Myrdal believe that "a positive population policy should not focus on getting single poor families to feed a very large number of children, without causing the vast majority of food to let us say, for example, 3 children. "
The basic idea in the book was that there are fewer children born because it is economically and housingly unsustainable for the families. Therefore, families with children must be supported by various reforms such as free healthcare, free school lunch, child support, bigger and better housing, preferential housing loans and subsidized rents. The idea was also that both parents could work outside the home and that the prevailing patriarchal family system (occupational father, home-born mother) must be fundamentally revised. If the children are placed in some form of institution with trained staff while the parents work, this would give positive financial consequences as well as educational benefits for the individual child.
The couple Myrdal looked very seriously on the housing question. Lack of sleep and low housing standards especially gave the children poor growth environments that could lead to "physical and mental harmful effects", they claimed.
