This is a well thought out reply that made me change my original stance. Well done and thank you.

As someone without children:
They should, yes. Children are extremely important for our future so especially people who earn well and can provide their children with a good life (likely leading to a successful carrier later on) should be encouraged to have them.
Additionally this kind of culture is needed if we want women to have same chances as men (since childcare still is majorly done by women, and likely always will be (progressive families split it evenly, conservative families don’t or at least don’t split it evenly, for every families where the father does more there’s at least one where the mother does more))

We are approaching 10 billion people on this Earth.
At some point people should realize that the important thing for our future is having less children, not more.

Population is shrinking in developed countries, looks like that issue will erase itself as more and more countries are developed.

Population is rising in developed countries.
You may want to say that new borns by native population are shrinking.
But the growth in inmigration greatly overcomes that fact.

I meant it’s shrinking without immigration, yes. As more and more countries are developed, less and less countries have population growth, so there’s also no population growth through immigration anymore (when one time the people from the few countries that still have population growth are distributed among so many countries without population growth).
It is solving itself if we keep working on helping countries to become developed.

As someone with kids: they should not. This kind of basic flexibility should be the bar for all employees, regardless of family status.

So they should get this kind of treatment, it just shouldn’t be special.
