Governments around the world are increasingly offering cash payments, tax breaks, housing subsidies and childcare support in an effort to persuade citizens to have more children as birth rates fall and populations age.
Declining birth rates can strain a country's economy because there aren't enough people being born to support the aging population. That means greater strains on social programs like Social Security and Medicare in the United States since more and more people are using the programs, but not enough people are paying into them. Declining birth rates are a global problem, and a growing number of countries are rolling out increasingly generous pro-family incentives, ranging from direct payments for newborns to years of childcare assistance.

Isolate masturbate and you won’t procreate.
Shouldn’t the countries with lots of spare land and water lead the way? Guess that leaves out the catholic countries.
I would be glad to assist if the Swedish Bikini Team would come to America.
Something is very wrong when any animal just stops procreating. Where in nature do you find this? You don’t. Yet humans have and it’s a symptom of a serious problem.
The incentives are no longer there throughout the developed world.
The article right below this one is:
“Democrat Governor Wants To Remove ‘Mothers’ And ‘Pregnant Woman’ From State Health Code”
I think you found the problem.
China reversed course on its obsession with birth control some decades ago with Singapore a very crowded place giving it up in the 1990’s that’s what comes to my mind first.
Russia well positioned with the description you just gave...
See my tagline for a big part of the problem.

It’s been noticed for some time that declining birth rates are driven by increases in life expectation and wealth. Any suggestions?
I think you found the problem.
It is definitely a large part of it. Pretending a woman is a costume that can be removed at will is pure stupidity. The vilifying of mothers and reducing babies to a “clump of cells” started a few decades ago and has only gotten worse in the past few years. Of course birth rates were going to start going down. The good news is that conservative women are having more babies than leftist women.
people are not animals. God said so. He knows best.
If at this time He allows that people have less kids, I would imagine the govt’s supplementing people to have kids may be out of line with Him.
I really don’t think from the little I understand of God of the Bible, that He wants kids coming into the world in test tubes and to be neglected by super busy parents, or worse subjected to all sorts of chemicals injected into them from birth through school years, or many of the other horrific things becoming more common like pretend genders leading to surgeries and all the mental abuse.
I highly doubt it’s God’s best plan for kids, or anyone.
Stop LEGAL immigration. Watch the birth rates soar.
