Question: is there a pervasive belief that child credits and grants will reverse the population decline? Do most of our leaders believe that essentially paying people to have kids will fix the problem? This is a serious question that I’d love to see discussed more (not an attempt to troll). I think we’ve seen other countries try this with very little success. Then there are countries like Hungary who are focusing on changing the culture—as you mention in the first portion of this post (love the Princess Bride reference!). I would think we need to prioritize changing the culture over what essentially amounts to bandaid bribes.
excellent princess bride reference :)
