Can $55,000 Solve The Population Crisis?

The argument is that direct financial incentives to have children might offset the costs that deter many would-be parents. Commenters are weighing in on whether cash payouts can fix structural problems like expensive housing, childcare and job insecurity, or whether such payments would make little difference to fertility trends.
Why now: Falling birth rates and pronatalist payment schemes are prominent current debates in economics and policy.
