Can governments convince women to have more babies?
Original: Can governments ever convince women to have more babies? Here’s what other countries can teach us

The question is whether governments can ever succeed, and what approaches from other countries might teach policymakers. Debate centres on whether financial incentives, childcare support and workplace reforms can genuinely change family-size decisions, or whether the declines reflect deeper shifts governments cannot easily reverse.
Why now: Falling birth rates in many countries have made pro-natalist policy a live political debate.
