It was alreasy tried in Quebec, 20+ years ago, and failed.
Massive tax rebates(not credits against tax owed, but rebates for each child).
The true issue is, likely due to something environmental, humans are not driven to reproduce. You may say, "More people aee choosing not to...". Wrong.
Reproduction is a greater drive than eating. It is more important than anything, biologically. And as an example, many cancer patients literally waste away.
They know they should eat. They know that 1/2 their problem is lack of healthy food, it makes them weak, keeps them bedridden, but they cannot even force themselves to eat.
Reproduction not sex, reproduction is a core, base drive beyond our control.
And no, sex isn't reproduction. Biology is smarter than that.
My point is, birthrates are not falling due to cost, or any other assumptions, because governments have tried to eliminate that, and it makes no difference.
And it is not cultural, for whether Canada, the EU, Russia, or Japan, anywhere which adopts a modern lifestyle, birth rate plummet.
Japan 20 years ago had a plummeting birthrate, yet their culture is quite different than the rest, and 20 years ago, a lot less forgiving to female rights.
Whether climate, geography, war or peace, culture, language, religion, schooling, support by the state, cost of raising children, birth control or not, birth rates are plummeting world wide.
And it is because something is blocking
.. something, which causes reproductive drive.
If you look at die offs of species on graphs, it typically slowly decreases, then takes a crazy plummet.
If this is accurate for humans, by 2100 we will have 2b, by 2150 500M, by 2200 100M, and this presumes no massive war, plague, etc.
