How do I increase my population of my very small starter population while warding off the negative effects of inbreeding?
+0

In my pre-bronze age city, there are roughly 20,000 individuals. 9,000 sexually mature males, 9,000 sexually mature females, and 2,000 children. For a variety of unimportant reasons, they have been cut off from the rest of mankind. They need a strong work force as soon as possible, so they resort to population boosting.
Question: assuming that no one has sexually transmitted diseases, what is the most effective way to increase the population while keeping the negative effects of inbreeding at bay?
