Same in the Netherlands and it’s absolutely crazy. We already have too many humans, why stimulate procreation when we don’t even have enough housing for the humans that already exist.
you realize basically every single western country has a decreasing population, right? immigration is currently the only thing keeping us all vaguely afloat.
If things continue like they are then in 50 years europe and america are gonna be fucking miserable as they’re filled with old people and nowhere near enough people to take care of them.
Are you sure that’s even what is happening? It seems there would be a line where you could ease the burden of childbirth, especially for women, by supporting them and making it more likely that child becomes a healthy educated adult, but not so much reimbursement that you actually stimulate fertility rates. I would think that the government has data on this.

Not decreasing fast enough. Also ‘western countries’ is irrelevant. It’s about global population.
We’re at 8 billion humans globally. A good goal would be a global population of 10 million.
Lol… People still shilling these brain dead takes in 2025.
It’s not stimulating it’s making it barely affordable to have children.
Relax the planet is not over populated. Projections already show it might go down soon. Which is fine as well I guess.
