External incentives to have larger families don't work.
Hungary tried giving approx. 30k EUR (a very large sum, locally) to every family who have 3 kids plus other significant tax incentives like 0% income tax rate for life for mums of 3, and afaik these programmes are still on but looking at birth rates it resulted in a 0.8% blip and is still in a sharp downtrend.
