 While it is hard to find legitimate ways to regulate procreation—although perhaps we should not stop searching for solutions—the situation is a bit more hopeful with respect to regulating in order to ensure better parenting and, more generally, better child-rearing. On the first count, there is a convincing case for licensing biological parents (LaFollette 2010) although implementation is difficult. But a bundle of second-best policies include the introducing of parenting classes, perhaps mandatory (Cutas &amp; Bortolotti 2010; De Wispelaere &amp; Weinstock 2012) and the encouragement of fathers to take up parental leave in order to be involved in childcare from the start.
