One way to subsidize parents is to give free child care. As a bonus, the government get to decide exactly how these kids are being raised.
But yeah, it is a material investment for the society to take - which is likely why we have seen the cost of kids being transferred to the parents (and lower birth rates).

- tossandthrow 1y agoImposing structures on who and how can raise kids. Almost all western countries have scars around this.
- baconbrand 1y agoDeciding who is going to raise children well implies deciding who can raise children implies deciding who can have children. It’s a pretty straightforward line.
