Way too simple. This is the case already. Here in Canada you literally get paid ~$2000/kid/year. straight up cash. This is true elsewhere as well, and each place has the same aging population and low fertility.
This isn't a matter of what can fix the problem. The actual cause of the problem is government essentially legislated this to be the case. This problem largely speaking is the root cause of political polarization.
- acdha 2y ago$2k/year is nowhere near even the direct costs of raising a child. Think about how much an extra bedroom and food would cost even before you get to things like childcare, education, increased travel costs, etc.
- Gigachad 2y ago$2k would hardly cover anything. I'm talking about free schooling and supplies, free childcare, free gear for raising kids, and a payment to cover the rest.
