Defending eugenics

Defending eugenics - reasonable, lots of references.
States might improve the situation by mandating paid parental leave in the workplace, so there are fewer costs to temporarily leaving work to take care of children. Sweden has among the most generous paid parental leave laws in the world, and it is among the few developed countries with a replacement birthrate. 
Some studies suggest that strong family leave laws are the primary reason for its demographic stability (Hoem 2005). But the evidence is tainted by the fact that native-born Swedes have below-replacement fertility, and foreign-born immigrants from Somalia have more children, thus bringing Sweden close to replacement levels (Tollebrant 2017). This makes the effect of family leave laws a little unclear.
вот это little unclear - единственное место, где автор себе позволяет немного сарказма. еще, конечно, отрывок, где он объсняет, что Nazi policies had dysgenic effects вызывает подозрение.
