Positive financial incentives will never bring fertility rates above replacement. This has been proven time and time again and I’m not sure why people still say cost is what’s driving them down.

>Budapest continues to push women to have more babies, sooner, and within a traditional heterosexual family. But like many countries, it is discovering that it is far easier to persuade one cohort of women to bear their children earlier than it is to generate a lasting rebound in births
Seems fairly closer to how, in some countries that are poorer and have lower female labor participation, women have kids very early on and don’t have any more afterwards.
The only way I see payment for having children would work is if the money was given for birthing them (or possibly for adopting them from overseas if done in a country less hostile to immigration), and parents were be able to give up their kids immediately afterwards to government-run mega-orphanages straight out of dystopian scifi novels.
