Birth rates have dropped 20% since 2007. I don't think we ever came back from the '08 crash. It's just been smoke and mirrors.

I didn't mean this in a transactional sense. I agree you cannot pay people to have kids and I agree that, with reproductive freedom and personal autonomy as an option, many fewer afab people will have kids than the historical average.
My observation is that it isn't uncommon for single people and couples capable of becoming pregnant to express a desire to have children, but have reservations that are purely financial.

The answer is you can't pay people to have 3 kids, but you can pay people who already want to have a single kid to have a kid.
